EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, titled "SHARECROPPER FAMILY, 1935" captures a glimpse into the lives of an African American sharecropper's wife and child during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Ben Shahn in October 1935, this image showcases the harsh realities faced by many families living in rural areas of Little Rock, Arkansas. The worn-out exterior of their humble dwelling reveals a broken window through which the woman and her young child cautiously peer out. The crack in the glass symbolizes not only their physical environment but also reflects the cracks in society that marginalized communities endured during this era. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the resilience and strength of a working-class family striving to survive amidst poverty. Their faces tell stories of hardship and determination as they navigate through challenging times. Shahn's composition beautifully captures both vulnerability and hope within this sharecropper family. Through his lens, he sheds light on their struggles while simultaneously honoring their dignity. As we observe this powerful photograph today, it serves as a reminder of our collective history—a testament to those who persevered against all odds. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving equality for all members of society.
