EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "BINGO GAME, 1938" takes us back to a simpler time in American history. In the midst of the Great Depression, three women find solace and joy in playing bingo at the Louisiana State Fair in Donaldsonville. The photograph, taken by Russell Lee in November 1938, beautifully captures their enthusiasm and camaraderie. The image transports us to a rural setting where working-class individuals sought entertainment and respite from their daily struggles. These women, dressed elegantly with hats adorning their heads, gather around a table covered with bingo cards. Their smiles radiate happiness as they eagerly await the next number to be called. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the power of simple pleasures during challenging times. Bingo provided an escape from economic hardships and offered a sense of community for those who participated. It was an opportunity for these women to momentarily forget about their worries and immerse themselves in friendly competition. Russell Lee's photograph not only documents a game but also serves as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness during one of America's darkest periods. This snapshot offers us insight into daily life during that era while showcasing the importance of recreation as an essential part of human existence.
