EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph captured by Russell Lee in 1938, we are transported to a rural landscape near Laurel, Mississippi. The image depicts a sharecropper diligently ploughing a vast field of sweet potatoes with the help of his trusty donkey. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the daily life and struggles faced by American farmers during the early years of the Great Depression. The composition showcases the resilience and determination of this hardworking man as he labors under an unforgiving sun. With his weathered face and calloused hands gripping tightly onto the plow, it is evident that every furrow etched into the soil represents his unwavering commitment to providing for himself and his family. Lee's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the hardships endured by those living in rural America during this era, as well as their unyielding spirit. It also highlights how essential agriculture was to sustaining communities amidst economic turmoil. As we reflect on this image, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also recognize that it symbolizes countless untold stories of ordinary individuals who played vital roles in shaping our nation's history.
