RED CROSS INFIRMARY, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Sick Flood Refugee
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the harsh reality faced by flood refugees in Forrest City, Arkansas during the Great Depression. Taken in February 1937 by renowned photographer Walker Evans, it portrays an unidentified African American woman lying on a bed inside the Red Cross temporary infirmary at a flood refugee camp. The image reflects the dire conditions and poverty that plagued many Americans during this era. The woman's weary expression and frail posture reveal her physical suffering, while also conveying a sense of resilience amidst adversity. The Red Cross symbolizes hope and relief for those affected by natural disasters, providing much-needed medical assistance to vulnerable individuals like her. Evans' composition skillfully highlights both the interior setting and its occupant. The starkness of the room accentuates not only the woman's vulnerability but also draws attention to her as an individual within a larger narrative of struggle. By focusing on this single figure, Evans humanizes her experience and invites viewers to empathize with her plight. This powerful photograph serves as a reminder of how historical images can capture profound moments in time while shedding light on societal challenges that still resonate today. It stands as a testament to both Walker Evans' artistic vision and his commitment to documenting marginalized communities during one of America's most challenging periods.
