SHARECROPPER, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Lives of a Resilient Tobacco Farming Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the essence of rural life during the Great Depression in America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in July 1939, it showcases a tobacco sharecropper and his family standing at the back of their modest farmhouse in Person County, North Carolina. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a hardworking man with weathered hands and determined eyes alongside his wife, who exudes strength and resilience. Their children surround them - a baby cradled lovingly by its mother's side, two young boys full of curiosity and mischief, while their sister stands tall with an air of responsibility. The backdrop reveals a simple wooden house that serves as both shelter and symbolizes their struggle for survival. Chickens roam freely nearby as if to emphasize the connection between nature's bounty and human sustenance. This image encapsulates not only the hardships faced by farming families during one of America's darkest periods but also highlights their unwavering spirit. Despite living through poverty-stricken times, this family remains united – bound together by love amidst adversity. Dorothea Lange's lens immortalizes these ordinary individuals who represent countless others across Southeastern states striving to make ends meet. Through her powerful portrayal, she sheds light on social issues prevalent during that era while reminding us all about the indomitable human spirit that can endure even
