EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history - the aftermath of the devastating Ohio River flood at Forrest City, Arkansas in February 1937. The image showcases a scene from the refugee camp, where hope and resilience shine through even amidst great adversity. In this snapshot by Edwin Locke, we see rows of cages filled with poultry that have been miraculously saved from the floodwaters. These chickens symbolize not only sustenance but also a glimmer of normalcy for those who have lost everything. They are a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness during times of crisis. The composition beautifully juxtaposes the harsh exterior environment with an interior glimpse into life within the camp. Tents dotting the field serve as temporary shelters for displaced families seeking refuge from poverty and despair caused by both natural disaster and economic hardship during the Great Depression era. Locke's photograph is part of a larger collection documenting America's struggle during this period, offering insight into how communities came together to support one another under challenging circumstances. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, humanity can find strength and solace through unity. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical print as an opportunity to reflect on our past while appreciating how far we've come since then. Let it inspire us to continue building resilient communities that uplift each other in times of need.
