EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "TEXAS: SAW MILL, 1939" takes us back to a time when the American working class was defined by resilience and hard work. The image showcases a small saw mill near Jefferson, Texas, where a young boy is diligently packing roof shingles. Taken in April 1939 by photographer Russell Lee as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project during the New Deal era, this picture sheds light on an important aspect of that period - child labor. Despite being early in his life, this young boy carries the weight of responsibility on his shoulders as he contributes to his family's livelihood. The composition beautifully captures the essence of industry in the Southwestern region of America. With logs and planks scattered around him, it is evident that woodwork plays a significant role in this community's economy. The determination etched onto the boy's face reflects not only his personal struggle but also represents countless others who worked tirelessly during those times. As we reflect upon this powerful image today, let us remember the sacrifices made by previous generations to build our nation's foundation. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes at great cost and highlights how far we have come since then regarding child labor laws and worker rights.
