EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Lewis Hine in October 1915, offers a glimpse into the living conditions of beet workers in Fort Collins, Colorado. The image showcases "The Jungle" a housing section specifically designated for these migrant workers. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the stark reality of early 20th-century rural poverty. The sepia-toned print captures an exterior view of the modest shacks that served as homes for these hardworking individuals. Each structure stands as a testament to their resilience and determination amidst challenging circumstances. A smokestack looms ominously in the background, symbolizing both industry and struggle. It serves as a reminder of the sugar industry's presence in this region and its reliance on the labor provided by these workers. Lewis Hine's lens expertly captures not only physical structures but also tells stories through his subjects' faces. Although absent from this particular photo, one can imagine tired bodies returning home after long days spent toiling in fields or factories. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from 1915 America, it is crucial to reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done today regarding fair treatment and equitable living conditions for all members of our society.
