EDITORS COMMENTS
ALABAMA: GRAVE, c1935. A poignant glimpse into the hardships of rural life during the Great Depression, this photograph by Walker Evans captures a sharecropper's grave in Hale County, Alabama. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by working-class farmers in the Southeastern United States during this era. The starkness of the scene is striking; an unadorned gravestone stands alone amidst barren dirt and humble surroundings. Its simplicity speaks volumes about the poverty that plagued many families at that time. The bottle placed on top of the gravestone adds an intriguing element to the composition, perhaps symbolizing both remembrance and resilience in face of adversity. Evans' lens skillfully conveys not only physical destitution but also emotional weight. Through his lens, we can almost feel the weight of loss and hardship experienced by those who lived through these challenging times. This photograph was taken as part of Evans' work for Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to document rural America and raise awareness about its struggles during the Great Depression. It became an iconic representation of both human suffering and hope for change brought forth by President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a testament to resilience in times of despair while reminding us never to forget those who endured such difficult circumstances.
