GEORGIA - EROSION, 1941. A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Resilient Farmer in Greene County
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captured by Jack Delano in 1941 takes us back to an era marked by hardship and resilience. In this image, we witness a determined African American farmer inspecting his eroded farmland in Greene County, Georgia. The composition reveals the stark reality faced by farmers during the devastating droughts that plagued the region. The barren hillsides and cracked earth serve as haunting reminders of the challenges they encountered daily. With a weathered face etched with determination, the farmer stands amidst this desolation, surveying his land with unwavering resolve. Delano's lens not only documents erosion but also captures the spirit of survival prevalent among those affected by poverty in rural America during this time. This photograph is part of a larger body of work commissioned under President Roosevelt's New Deal program aimed at revitalizing agriculture through initiatives like Farm Security Administration (FSA). As we gaze upon this powerful image, it serves as a poignant reminder of our collective responsibility to protect our environment and support those who rely on it for their livelihoods. It also pays homage to individuals like this resilient farmer whose unwavering spirit continues to inspire generations today.
