EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "H.L. Mitchell, Secretary of Southern Tenant Farmers Union. Union headquarters, Memphis, Tennessee," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the late 1930s. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the depths of the Great Depression in the United States, specifically in the rural South. Mitchell, the Union Secretary, is depicted in the dimly lit interior of the Union headquarters, seated at a cluttered desk, with a typewriter before him. His gaze is fixed on the paper in front of him, his expression thoughtful and determined. In one hand, he holds a cigarette, the smoke curling up towards the ceiling, while the other rests on a stack of papers. The room is filled with the hum of activity, as evidenced by the papers strewn about and the faint sound of typewriter keys in the background. The Southern Tenant Farmers Union was a grassroots organization that sought to improve the living and working conditions of sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the region. The Union's headquarters in Memphis served as a hub for organizing efforts and advocacy during a time when the economic hardships of the Depression left many farmers and their families struggling to survive. Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), captured this image as part of her documentation of the effects of the Depression on rural America. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought for change during a time of great economic hardship. The image is a powerful reminder of the importance of collective action and the role of labor unions in advocating for the rights and needs of working people.
