SHARECROPPER, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of African American Sharecroppers
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the essence of a bygone era and tells a story of resilience amidst adversity. In this image, we see the weathered feet of a fifty-seven-year-old African American sharecropper from Hinds County, Mississippi. The dimes carefully placed around her ankles serve as an unconventional remedy to prevent headaches - a poignant symbol of her resourcefulness in the face of economic hardship. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in June 1936 during the Great Depression, this photograph sheds light on the harsh realities faced by rural communities in the Southeastern United States. Sharecropping was an economic system that perpetuated poverty among black farmers who were often trapped in cycles of debt and exploitation. The barefoot woman's hands, roughened by years spent toiling under scorching summer suns, further emphasize her arduous labor and humble existence. This image serves as a stark reminder of how deeply entrenched racial inequality was during this period. Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) aimed to document social conditions and advocate for government intervention through programs like Roosevelt's New Deal. Her photographs became iconic representations of human suffering and paved the way for greater awareness about socioeconomic disparities. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human strength amid adversity. It reminds us that progress
