EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Jack Delano, we are transported back to the rural countryside of Puerto Rico in the early 1940s. The image showcases an African American tenant purchase borrower standing proudly beside his field, embodying the resilience and determination of a hardworking farmer. Dressed in traditional farm attire, the man's clothing reflects both practicality and heritage. His wide-brimmed hat shields him from the scorching sun as he tends to his crops with care. A majestic horse stands nearby, symbolizing their partnership in cultivating the land. Delano's use of color brings vibrancy to this still image, capturing every detail of the picturesque farmland that stretches into the distance. The lush green fields serve as a testament to nature's abundance and provide a stark contrast against any notions of poverty or hardship. This photograph is part of Delano's collection for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), documenting rural life during this pivotal period in American history. Through his lens, Delano captures not only scenes but also stories - tales of struggle, perseverance, and hope. As we gaze upon this powerful snapshot frozen in time at Puerto Rico's countryside, we are reminded of our connection to our roots and how agriculture has shaped our nation throughout history. It serves as a reminder that behind every field lies countless hours of labor and dedication from individuals like this tenant farmer who have contributed immensely to America's agricultural legacy.
