EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of a nation grappling with economic hardship, this poignant print titled 'Child Labor: Cotton, 1939' transports us back to a time when innocence was overshadowed by the harsh realities of the Great Depression. The image showcases two young children, belonging to farmer J. A. Johnson, diligently picking cotton in a vast field located in Statesville, North Carolina. Photographed by Marion Post Wolcott in 1939 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this powerful snapshot serves as an enduring reminder of the widespread poverty and desperation that plagued America during that era. These innocent souls were thrust into labor at such tender ages due to dire circumstances beyond their control. The girl and boy depicted here symbolize countless others who were forced into early adulthood far too soon. Their tiny frames bent under the weight of responsibility as they tirelessly worked amidst rows upon rows of cotton plants. It is impossible not to be moved by their determination and resilience despite facing unimaginable hardships. This photograph stands as a testament to both human strength and societal failure – an indelible mark on history that reminds us how far we have come while urging us never to forget those who suffered along the way.
