EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, titled "COTTON PICKERS, 1935" captures a poignant moment in American history. In the image, African American migrant workers can be seen patiently waiting for transportation from the cotton fields in Pulaski County, Arkansas. Taken by renowned photographer Ben Shahn in October 1935 during the Great Depression era, this photograph serves as a visual reminder of the hardships faced by these individuals. The composition of the photo is striking - men and women gather on a porch outside what appears to be their humble dwelling. The worn-out exterior of the house and nearby silo serve as stark symbols of poverty and struggle. These workers were part of an extensive labor force that played a crucial role in sustaining America's cotton industry during this period. Shahn's lens captures not only their physical exhaustion but also their resilience and determination to make ends meet amidst challenging circumstances. This image stands as a testament to the strength exhibited by African American migrant workers who sought better opportunities despite facing discrimination and economic hardship. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far our society has come while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving equality for all.
