EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MIGRANT SHACK, 1910" offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by migrant workers in early 20th century America. The exterior view of this modest shack reveals its staggering size - containing an astonishing 24 rooms. Located on Forsyths Bog in Pemberton, New Jersey, this image captures the essence of rural poverty and the struggles endured by working-class families. Photographed by Lewis Hine in September 1910, this sepia-toned print transports us back to a time when opportunities were scarce for many Americans. The young boy standing outside the shack serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by children growing up in such impoverished conditions. The dilapidated building stands as a symbol of hopelessness and despair, yet it also represents resilience and determination. Despite their meager circumstances, these migrants worked tirelessly to make ends meet on farms across North America. As we reflect upon this powerful image from over a century ago, let us not forget the countless individuals who labored under similar conditions during that era. This photograph serves as both a historical document and a call to action - urging us to strive for social justice and equality for all members of society.
