EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a snapshot of life during the Great Depression in 1935. In the slum district of Washington, D. C. , children find solace and joy amidst their impoverished surroundings. The image, taken by photographer Carl Mydans, showcases two young boys and a girl playing carefree in their backyard. Despite the hardships they face daily, these children exude resilience as they run barefoot on dirt-covered ground. Their innocence shines through as they engage in games that momentarily transport them from the harsh realities of poverty. Surrounding them is evidence of their challenging circumstances - trash scattered around and a dilapidated house serving as their backdrop. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that economic downturns can have on vulnerable communities. It also highlights the importance of documenting such moments to raise awareness about social issues like poverty. As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, Mydans captured this scene while working for Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to combat rural poverty during this era. Through his lens, he immortalized not only these children but also an entire generation affected by one of America's darkest times. Decades later, this print continues to evoke empathy and reflection upon viewing it today—a testament to its timeless portrayal of childhood resilience amidst adversity.
