EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of hardworking employees at the Mid-Continent Refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, during what is believed to be 1943. Taken by renowned photographer John Vachon, this image showcases the blue-collar workers who played a vital role in America's industrial landscape during the Second World War. The men stand proudly outside the refinery building, their presence symbolizing resilience and determination amidst challenging times. With machinery and equipment as their backdrop, they embody the spirit of American industry and exemplify the crucial contribution made by workers in supporting their country's war efforts. Vachon's skillful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this still image from history. The warm tones highlight both the physical labor involved in petroleum production and the camaraderie shared among these individuals. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of an era when teamwork was essential for progress. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this photograph offers us a glimpse into America's past while honoring those who dedicated themselves to their work during wartime. It stands as a testament to our nation's heritage and reminds us that even amid adversity, unity can prevail
