EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MISSISSIPPI: FISHING, 1939" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases African American men and women peacefully fishing in a serene creek near a cotton plantation outside Belzoni, Mississippi. Captured by the talented photographer Marion Post Wolcott in 1939, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily lives of individuals during the early years of the New Deal era. The scene exudes tranquility as these individuals engage in leisurely fishing activities. With their fishing poles at hand, they find solace and joy amidst the calmness of nature's embrace. This snapshot not only portrays an ordinary day spent outdoors but also represents resilience and strength within the African American community. Set against the backdrop of rural Mississippi, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of life's simple pleasures despite challenging circumstances. It symbolizes unity and determination while shedding light on historical aspects such as segregation and economic disparity prevalent during that time. Marion Post Wolcott's lens beautifully captures this slice of history with remarkable detail, showcasing her talent for documenting everyday moments that often go unnoticed. As we observe this timeless image today, it invites us to reflect upon our shared past while appreciating how far we have come towards achieving equality for all Americans.
