EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MIGRANT FAMILY, 1916" offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the Hazel family during a challenging time in American history. The image showcases the Hazels standing proudly in front of their dilapidated farmhouse, located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The family's worn-out attire and barefoot children reflect the poverty that plagued many working-class families during this era. Despite their hardships, there is an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from each member of the family as they pose for Lewis Hine's lens. The father stands tall with his cap on, embodying strength and determination as he supports his loved ones through difficult times. The mother exudes grace and stoicism while cradling her baby in her arms. Their children - two boys and a girl - display both innocence and maturity beyond their years. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by migrant workers like the Hazels who sought better opportunities but often found themselves trapped in cycles of poverty. It captures not only their physical surroundings but also hints at their dreams for a brighter future. Lewis Hine's skillful composition allows us to connect with this resilient family from another time, evoking empathy for their struggles while honoring their unwavering spirit amidst adversity.
