EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Arthur Rothstein captures a nostalgic moment in American history. Taken in 1942, it showcases a group of young boys joyfully flying a kite in front of the community center at an FSA camp in Robstown, Texas. The image exudes innocence and playfulness as the children immerse themselves in this simple yet exhilarating activity. The vibrant colors add depth to the photo, highlighting the contrast between the bright blue sky and the red brick building behind them. Their kites soar high against this picturesque backdrop, symbolizing freedom and dreams taking flight. Rothstein's lens not only freezes this delightful scene but also provides us with a glimpse into life during that era. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) camps were established to support struggling rural communities during difficult times, such as those faced during World War II. These camps served as safe havens where families could find solace and build stronger bonds within their communities. In this particular frame, we see unity among these boys from different backgrounds - some Mexican-American - coming together to enjoy a carefree moment amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder of how play can transcend barriers and bring people closer together. Arthur Rothstein's photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is also a testament to resilience, hope, and the power of childhood imagination even in times of adversity.
