SHARECROPPER FAMILY, c1900 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Rural Virginia's Working Class
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the turn of the century in rural Virginia, where a sharecropper family stands together at an old well. Captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1902, this image offers a poignant snapshot of African American life during that era. The photograph showcases a hardworking family surrounded by their modest country surroundings. The worn wooden bucket they hold symbolizes their daily struggle for water and survival on the farm. Despite facing poverty and adversity, their resilience shines through as they stand united against all odds. In this timeless scene, we see men and women working side by side to provide for their loved ones. The woman holds onto her toddler tightly while a young girl gazes curiously at the camera – perhaps contemplating her own future amidst these challenging circumstances. Frances Benjamin Johnston's lens captures not only the physical aspects but also the spirit of this sharecropper family. Their determination and strength are palpable in every line etched on their faces. As we reflect upon this powerful image from over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and the struggles faced by many working-class families during that time. It is through such photographs that we gain insight into lives often overlooked or forgotten – reminding us to honor those who came before us and paved the way for our present-day opportunities.
