EDITORS COMMENTS
ARKANSAS: REFUGEES, 1937. A glimpse into the resilience and strength of flood refugees in Forrest City, Arkansas during the devastating Ohio River flood of February 1937. In this powerful photograph captured by Edwin Locke, we witness a determined African American woman washing clothes in the refugee camp. The image portrays both the harsh living conditions and the unwavering spirit of those affected by this natural disaster. The scene unfolds within an exterior tent set up as part of a Red Cross relief effort. Poverty and destitution are palpable as we observe the woman diligently scrubbing her garments in a wash basin, using whatever resources she can find amidst limited supplies. This snapshot captures not only her physical labor but also symbolizes her determination to maintain dignity amidst adversity. During this early period marked by economic hardship known as the Great Depression, many Americans found themselves displaced due to catastrophic events like floods. The New Deal policies implemented by President Franklin D. Roosevelt aimed to provide support for these struggling communities through initiatives such as FSA (Farm Security Administration). This poignant photograph serves as a reminder of our collective history and highlights the importance of compassion and assistance during times of crisis.
