EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MISSISSIPPI: CHILD, 1935" captures a poignant moment in history. In the frame stands an African American child, barefoot and surrounded by the remnants of a badly rundown house in Natchez, Mississippi. The photograph was taken in October 1935 by Ben Shahn during the Great Depression era. The image speaks volumes about the harsh realities faced by many African Americans living in rural areas during this time. Poverty is evident as we see the dilapidated state of their dwelling and the barren yard surrounding it. Yet amidst these challenging circumstances, there is resilience etched on the young boy's face. One cannot help but notice a small black cat perched nearby, perhaps serving as both companion and solace for this child facing adversity at such an early age. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how deeply entrenched poverty was during that period and sheds light on the struggles endured by marginalized communities. Through his lens, Shahn offers us a glimpse into not only one individual's life but also into broader social issues prevalent at that time. It serves as a testament to how art can capture moments frozen in time while simultaneously provoking reflection on our shared history.
