EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Camp, 1938" captures a poignant moment in the heart of Circleville's Hooverville, central Ohio. The image showcases a young girl sitting gracefully inside an old tire, her bare feet touching the ground as she gazes into the distance. Taken by renowned photographer Ben Shahn during the Great Depression era, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life of working-class families struggling to survive. The girl's tattered dress reflects both poverty and resilience while her surroundings reveal an encampment marked by hardship. Behind her stands a picket fence that separates this makeshift home from the outside world. This powerful composition highlights not only the physical barriers faced by these migrant families but also their determination to create some semblance of normalcy amidst adversity. Intriguingly, despite her circumstances, the young girl clutches onto a toy—a symbol of hope and innocence that transcends time and place. Through Shahn's lens, we witness not just one individual story but rather an entire generation affected by economic turmoil. This photograph is part of Farm Security Administration (FSA) documentation commissioned under President Roosevelt's New Deal program—an effort to shed light on rural poverty across America. It serves as a reminder of our collective history and compels us to reflect on how far we have come in addressing social inequality since then.
