SHARECROPPER FAMILY, 1935 - A Glimpse into the Resilience of African American Sharecroppers during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a sharecropper family outside their modest home in Little Rock, Arkansas. Taken by renowned photographer Ben Shahn in October 1935, this image offers a window into the lives of working-class African Americans during one of America's most challenging eras. The composition showcases a mother seated on the porch with her infant nestled in her arms, embodying strength and determination amidst poverty. The worn-out wooden house behind them stands as a testament to their struggles and resilience. A young black boy stands beside his mother, representing hope for future generations. Shahn's lens skillfully captures the essence of this sharecropper family's daily life within its historical context. With the backdrop of economic turmoil caused by the Great Depression and social inequality prevalent at that time, this photograph serves as an important reminder of both hardship and perseverance. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, which focuses on significant moments in history through visual artistry, this print invites viewers to reflect upon America's past while acknowledging how far we have come. It is a powerful representation not only of one family but also countless others who faced similar circumstances across the South-Eastern United States. Through its emotional depth and historical significance, "SHARECROPPER FAMILY, 1935" reminds us all to appreciate our shared humanity and recognize those who fought against adversity
