EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Walker Evans transports us back to the vibrant streets of New Orleans in August 1936. The image captures the essence of an era marked by both struggle and resilience - the Great Depression. As we gaze upon this street corner, we are transported to a time when bread lines were common sights, yet hope still flickered in every citizen's heart. The scene unfolds before our eyes with remarkable detail. An early morning sunlight casts long shadows on the cityscape, illuminating an array of elements that define urban life during that period. A bustling grocery store stands proudly at the corner, its storefront adorned with signs advertising goods for sale.

These symbols remind us that despite their struggles, residents remained connected and resilient through communication. Evans' lens also captures ordinary moments that speak volumes about daily life in New Orleans during this time - from pedestrians strolling along sidewalks to streetlights casting their warm glow as dusk approaches. As we reflect upon "NEW ORLEANS CORNER" let us not forget how communities like these played a crucial role in shaping America's history during one of its most challenging periods. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of human strength and determination against
