Migrant Family, 1936 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of Rural America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a defining moment in American history during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Mydans in March 1936, it portrays a resettlement official investigating an impoverished family living in a trailer at a migrant worker camp on U. S. 70 in Tennessee. The image reveals the harsh realities faced by this family of nine as they endure destitution and uncertainty. The worn-out wooden shack serves as their humble shelter, while their tattered clothing reflects the daily hardships they face. The children, barefoot and dirty, stand alongside their parents who wear expressions burdened with worry. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness not only the physical poverty but also the emotional toll that unemployment has taken on these individuals. The father wears overalls and a fedora hat, symbolizing his working-class background now marred by failure to provide for his loved ones. As part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, which aimed to alleviate rural poverty through programs like the Resettlement Administration (RA), this photograph highlights both hope for change and despair amidst economic turmoil. Through Mydans' lens, we are reminded of the resilience exhibited by countless families during one of America's darkest periods. This powerful image serves as a testament to their strength and determination to survive against all odds - an enduring reminder of our shared history and collective responsibility towards those facing
