Lucille Burroughs - A Glimpse into the Lives of Cotton Pickers in Hale County, Alabama, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by renowned photographer Walker Evans transports us back to a significant era in American history. In the midst of the Great Depression, Lucille Burroughs stands barefoot amidst a vast cotton field in Hale County, Alabama. Her young frame is hunched over as she diligently picks cotton under the scorching sun. Evans' lens reveals not only Lucille's physical labor but also her resilience and determination as an agricultural worker during challenging times. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the hardships faced by countless individuals who relied on farming for their livelihoods. The stark contrast between Lucille's delicate feet against the rough terrain symbolizes both vulnerability and strength. As we contemplate this scene frozen in time, it becomes evident that child labor was unfortunately prevalent during this period. The presence of children like Lucille picking cotton highlights the desperate economic circumstances that forced families to rely on every available pair of hands. Walker Evans masterfully captures not just an individual but an entire community's struggle for survival within this single frame. Through his lens, he immortalizes these unsung heroes whose tireless efforts sustained America’s agricultural industry despite overwhelming adversity. As we examine this historic photograph today, let us remember those who toiled endlessly to provide for their families while contributing to our nation's growth. Their stories deserve recognition and respect as they are woven into the fabric of our shared heritage.
