MINNESOTA - HOBO, 1939. A Glimpse into the Struggles of Survival
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph taken by John Vachon in September 1939 depicts a poignant scene from Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the heart of a hobo jungle, we witness an anonymous man engaging in an act of survival - killing a turtle to make soup. The image transports us back to an era marked by economic hardship and homelessness during the Great Depression. The man's weathered face and worn-out clothes tell tales of countless miles traveled and endless struggles endured. With determination etched on his features, he wields a pipe as his weapon against nature's creation. In this snapshot frozen in time, we are confronted with conflicting emotions. On one hand, there is admiration for the resourcefulness exhibited by this homeless individual who must rely on unconventional means to satisfy his hunger. On the other hand, there is sadness at witnessing such desperation that drives someone to take another creature's life for sustenance. Vachon's lens captures not only the harsh reality faced by those living on society's fringes but also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity amidst adversity. This photograph stands as testament to resilience and ingenuity born out of necessity during challenging times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that echoes of these struggles still resonate within our society today.
