EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Family, 1909" captures a poignant moment in the lives of the Slebzak family. The image showcases this Polish migrant family as they toil away as berry pickers on Bottomley Farm near Baltimore, Maryland. Taken by Lewis Hine in July 1909, this snapshot provides a glimpse into the daily life of hardworking immigrant farmers during the turn of the century. In this evocative portrait, we see a mother and father alongside their children working together under the scorching summer sun. The young boy wears a worn-out hat while his sister dons a bonnet, both shielding themselves from nature's elements as they labor in the fields. Their faces tell stories of resilience and determination despite their challenging circumstances. The Slebzaks represent countless families who left their homeland in search of better opportunities in America. This photograph serves as a reminder of their sacrifices and struggles to provide for themselves amidst poverty and limited resources. Lewis Hine's lens beautifully captures not only an intimate moment but also sheds light on child labor practices prevalent at that time. It stands as an important historical document showcasing rural life and working-class realities during early 20th-century America. As we gaze upon this powerful image, let us remember those who paved the way for future generations through sheer perseverance and unwavering spirit - reminding us all that hope can flourish even in adversity.
