EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph taken in August 1936, a determined father and his three young children are seen stopped on the side of the road between Dallas and Austin, Texas. The family, originally from South Texas, have left behind their home and connections in search of work in the cotton fields of the Arkansas Delta. With only three gallons of gas in their tank and no food, the father is attempting to repair a tire, his face etched with worry and exhaustion. The children, dressed in simple clothing, look on with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. The family's belongings are scattered around them, a testament to their nomadic journey. The harsh realities of the Great Depression are evident in their penniless state, yet the father's resolve is unwavering. He sums up their situation with a simple yet profound statement, "It's tough, but life's tough anyway you take it." The photograph captures the resilience and determination of a family in the midst of adversity, their hopes pinned on reaching the cotton fields of the Arkansas Delta to make a better life for themselves.
