EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MISSISSIPPI: LABOR, 1940" transports us back to a significant moment in American history. Taken by Marion Post Wolcott in November 1940, the image captures the arduous task of cotton picking in the vicinity of Clarksdale, Mississippi. In this powerful snapshot, we witness African American workers laboring under the scorching sun on a plantation. Their faces etched with determination and resilience tell stories of struggle and perseverance. The cotton fields stretch endlessly into the horizon, symbolizing both the vastness of their work and its deep-rooted impact on America's economy. Wolcott's lens skillfully captures not only the physicality of their labor but also hints at their unbreakable spirit amidst adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an era marked by racial inequality and economic exploitation. The Granger Collection presents this historical print as an homage to those unsung heroes who played an integral role in shaping our nation's past. It invites viewers to reflect upon our collective journey towards equality while acknowledging that progress has been made since then. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, let us remember that it is through understanding our shared history that we can strive for a more inclusive future – one where every individual is valued for their contributions regardless of race or background.
