EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "ALABAMA: SELMA, 1935" captures a poignant moment in history. Taken by renowned photographer Walker Evans during the early years of the Great Depression, it showcases a diverse group of people gathered outside a general store in Selma, Alabama. The image transports us back to a time when daily life was marked by struggle and resilience. The men and women depicted here are African American residents of Selma, their faces reflecting both weariness and determination. They stand or sit on the sidewalk, forming an impromptu community that shares not only physical space but also a sense of camaraderie. Evans' lens beautifully frames the exterior of the general store, its weathered sign proudly displaying an array of goods available for purchase. This humble establishment served as more than just a place to buy necessities; it was also a hub where stories were exchanged and connections were forged. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the profound impact that historical events like the New Deal had on rural communities across America's Southeast. Through this photograph from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we gain insight into both the challenges faced by these individuals and their unwavering spirit. "ALABAMA: SELMA, 1935" serves as an enduring testament to human resilience amidst adversity while offering us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared past.
