EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans in February 1937, it depicts flood refugees seeking solace and care at a temporary infirmary operated by the Red Cross in Forrest City, Arkansas. The Great Depression had ravaged the nation, leaving countless families homeless and impoverished. The devastating floods caused by the overflowing Ohio River only added to their suffering. In this image, an African American man is seated on a bed inside the infirmary, his weary expression reflecting the hardships he has endured. Evans' lens skillfully portrays not just one man's plight but also represents the collective struggle of thousands during this era. The stark interior of the infirmary serves as a backdrop for his subjects, emphasizing their vulnerability amidst such dire circumstances. This photograph is part of The Granger Collection's archive that documents early 20th-century America. It offers us a glimpse into daily life during this tumultuous time and reminds us of both the resilience and fragility of humanity. As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a reminder of our shared responsibility to support those who are most vulnerable among us. It also highlights how organizations like the Red Cross played an essential role in providing aid and comfort to those affected by natural disasters or economic crises—a testament to human compassion even in times of great adversity.
