EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of poverty during the Great Depression in 1936. The image showcases a twelve-year-old girl, belonging to a family of eleven, residing in a one-room shelter constructed on the chassis of an abandoned Ford truck. Located in an open field along U. S. Route 70 between Camden and Bruceton, Tennessee, this makeshift home symbolizes the desperate living conditions faced by many families during that era. Dressed in a simple meal sack as her only form of clothing, the young girl stands stoically amidst her challenging circumstances. Her dirty appearance reflects the hardships she endures daily. This poignant portrait was captured by photographer Carl Mydans as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) photography project initiated under President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. The image serves as a reminder of how poverty affected even innocent children who were forced to grow up too soon due to their circumstances. It highlights both their resilience and vulnerability against a backdrop of rural America during this tumultuous time period. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it prompts us to consider our progress in addressing poverty and ensuring that every child has access to basic necessities for survival and growth.
