EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "WASHINGTON SLUM, 1935" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. Captured by the talented photographer Carl Mydans in November of that year, this image offers a poignant glimpse into the slum district of Washington, D. C. The scene depicts a street in disarray, with dilapidated houses lining both sides. Cobblestone streets bear witness to the wear and tear of daily life during this era. African American men are seen going about their business on the porch or near a pick-up truck parked nearby. Their worn-out clothes and hats reflect the hardships they faced amidst poverty. This photograph serves as a reminder of the Great Depression's impact on urban areas like Washington, D. C. , where many struggled to make ends meet. However, it also highlights resilience and community spirit as people navigate through challenging times together. Taken during President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal era, this image captures not only physical surroundings but also represents an important historical period marked by government efforts to alleviate economic distress across America. With its raw depiction of early 20th-century cityscape and everyday life struggles against poverty backdroped by historic landmarks such as Washington DC's slums, this photograph is an evocative piece that invites reflection on societal progress over time while acknowledging past challenges endured by communities within our nation's capital.
