EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, titled "OUTDOOR TOILET, 1935" captures a stark reality of life in the slum district of Washington, D. C. during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Mydans in September 1935, this image offers a glimpse into the daily struggles faced by those living in poverty-stricken areas. The photo depicts a typical outhouse commonly used by the lower class residents at that time. The wooden structure stands worn and weathered amidst a backdrop of dilapidated buildings and trash-strewn streets. A bucket sits outside the toilet, serving as a reminder of limited resources available to these communities. Mydans' lens takes us inside this humble facility where we can imagine the harsh conditions people endured on a daily basis. The interior is dimly lit with minimal ventilation, emphasizing the lack of basic amenities that many took for granted. Through his work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal program, Mydans aimed to shed light on rural poverty across America. This particular photograph serves as an important historical document illustrating both physical deprivation and social inequality prevalent during that era. As we reflect upon this image from over eight decades ago, it reminds us not only of how far society has progressed but also highlights ongoing challenges faced by marginalized communities today.
