DELIVERY BOY, 1938 - A Glimpse into Resilience and Determination

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the indomitable spirit of an African American boy during the challenging times of the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Russell Lee in August 1938, this image transports us to Caruthersville, Missouri. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a young adolescent donning an apron as he fearlessly navigates through town on his trusty bicycle. Laden with bags and baskets filled with groceries, he embodies the essence of hard work and dedication. This delivery boy becomes a symbol of hope amidst economic adversity. The storefronts lining the street serve as a backdrop for this powerful scene - reminders of commerce struggling to survive against all odds. Against this backdrop stands our protagonist – resilient and determined to fulfill his duty despite the challenges that surround him. Lee's lens beautifully captures not just a moment but also tells a larger story about life during those tumultuous years. The photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection under President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative aimed at documenting America's struggles during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, let it serve as a reminder of human resilience and perseverance even in times when circumstances seem insurmountable. May it inspire us to appreciate those who have come before us and paved the way for progress while reminding us that determination knows no boundaries or
