"Capturing the Lives of Sharecroppers: A Glimpse into the Dog Run Era" In the heart of Upchurch, North Carolina, in 1939, Zollie Lyons, a hardworking Negro sharecropper, takes a momentary break from toiling in the fields to enjoy a simple dinner at home. Dorothea Lange's lens immortalizes this poignant scene, reminding us of the struggles and resilience of those who worked tirelessly on Southern plantations. Meanwhile, Walker Evans transports us to Hale County, Alabama in 1936. At Floyd Burroughs' humble abode, we witness children frolicking joyfully within their dog run yard. These images capture both innocence and hardship as they play amidst poverty-stricken surroundings. Evans further reveals glimpses into Burroughs' life through his lens; we see a washstand nestled within the dog run kitchen - a symbol of modesty and resourcefulness. The Home of cotton sharecropper Floyd Burroughs stands tall yet weathered against time's relentless grip. Dorothea Lange continues her exploration in Wake County, North Carolina in 1939 with Zollie Lyon once again gracing her frame. Lyon returns home for dinner after another arduous day working under harsh conditions. Through these photographs emerges an unspoken narrative that speaks volumes about racial inequality and economic disparity during this era. Lastly, we delve back into Hale County with Walker Evans capturing more moments shared by the Burroughs children – playing freely amongst themselves or alongside their loyal cow near the barnyard fence. Their laughter echoes through time as they find solace amidst adversity. These powerful images serve as reminders that behind every face lies untold stories – stories etched deep within history's fabric.
