EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Arthur Rothstein captures the essence of a labor camp in Robstown, Texas during the year 1942. The image showcases row shelters that served as accommodation for workers under the Farm Security Administration (FSA). These humble buildings stand tall against the backdrop of the American countryside, representing an important era in United States history. Rothstein's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this still image, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in this historical moment. As we gaze upon these structures, we are transported back to a time when hardworking individuals sought refuge and employment opportunities within these camps. The photograph not only documents physical structures but also serves as a testament to resilience and determination. It reminds us of the challenges faced by those who labored tirelessly on farms across America during this period. This visual record is part of our heritage art collection and can be found within the Library of Congress archives. Through his lens, Rothstein captures both the exterior beauty of these row shelters and their significance within American society at that time. This powerful image invites contemplation about how far we have come since then while acknowledging our shared past. As we reflect upon this piece, let us remember those who built their lives within these walls – their stories deserve recognition amidst our nation's rich tapestry.
