Boy Feeding Pig, 1921 - A Glimpse into the Determination of Young George Cox
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in the life of George Cox, a 13-year-old African American boy who has just joined the esteemed 4 H Club. In this image taken on October 10,1921, we witness George's dedication to raising a pig with the assistance of Mr. A. W. Curtis, an Agricultural Agent. The setting is a humble home near the West Virginia Collegiate Institute, which served as the state agricultural college for African Americans during that time. The worn farmhouse porch and surrounding yard reflect the challenging circumstances faced by George's family as renters in this impoverished community. Dressed smartly in his suit and donning a fedora hat, young George epitomizes resilience and ambition despite his tender age. His commitment to farming is evident as he carefully feeds his pig while Mr. Curtis offers guidance nearby. Photographed by Lewis Hine, renowned for capturing early twentieth-century daily life struggles through his lens, this image serves as both documentation and inspiration. It sheds light on rural poverty in Southeast America but also celebrates young individuals like George Cox who sought opportunities beyond their circumstances. Through joining the prestigious 4 H Club and embracing agriculture at such a young age, George exemplifies determination and hope amidst adversity – qualities that continue to inspire generations today.
