EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene outside the Flophouse on lower Douglas Street in Omaha, Nebraska, in November 1938. The Flophouse, a term originating from the late 1800s, was a type of cheap boarding house or rooming house that catered to the working class and the homeless. The image portrays a hive of activity on the sidewalk, with men of various ages and backgrounds gathered around, some deep in conversation, others seemingly lost in thought. The worn-out furniture and disheveled appearance of the building in the background add to the sense of weariness and hardship that pervades the scene. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, revealing the stark realities faced by many Americans during the Great Depression. The image also underscores the resilience and community spirit that emerged during this challenging time in history. The photograph, taken in 1938, is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure adversity and the importance of empathy and compassion towards those in need.
