EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photo captures a moment frozen in time - a family picking cotton on their rented 20-acre farm in Comanche County, Geronimo, Oklahoma. It was taken on October 10,1916, during the era of child labor and sharecropping. In this historical image, we see children as young as three years old actively participating in the backbreaking work. The two older siblings, aged five and six, toil tirelessly under the scorching sun to pick between 20 to 25 pounds of cotton each day. Meanwhile, the youngest member of the family is just beginning to learn how to contribute. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into an agricultural reality where every hand mattered for survival. Despite their tender age and innocence being overshadowed by labor demands at such an early stage of life, these children are resilient symbols of determination amidst adversity. They give one-fourth of their hard-earned cotton yield for rent while also sharing one-third of their corn harvest. This vintage photograph serves as a powerful reminder that farming was not only about crops but also about families working together against all odds. It sheds light on the hardships faced by rural communities during that era while showcasing their unwavering spirit and strength. As we reflect upon this piece from Underwood Archives' collection curated by Universal Images Group (UIG), it prompts us to appreciate our progress over time while acknowledging those who paved the way for better conditions today.
