EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Russell Lee captures a poignant moment at the Pie Town, New Mexico Fair in 1940. As the aroma of barbeque fills the air and excitement buzzes through the crowd, a group of men and women bow their heads in prayer before indulging in this festive feast. The image beautifully portrays a scene steeped in tradition and gratitude. Dressed in their finest attire, both men and women donning cowboy hats and rustic clothing, they embody the essence of rural life during that era. Their expressions reflect deep reverence as they offer grace to bless the food before them. This snapshot is not just about enjoying a meal; it represents an unspoken connection to faith, community, and heritage. The vibrant colors captured by Lee's lens add depth to this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a reminder of America's regionalism and cultural diversity during the mid-20th century. Through his lens, we witness how religion played an integral role within these communities. Preserved within the archives of Congressional Library's Farm Security Administration collection, this photograph showcases Lee's talent for capturing meaningful moments that transcend time. It invites us to reflect on our own traditions while appreciating those who came before us. As we gaze upon this still image from 1940s America, let us remember that even amidst funfair and entertainment at country fairs like Pie Town, there was always room for gratitude and prayer – values deeply ingrained in American society then as much as now.
