EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Gordon Parks in New Britain, Connecticut in 1943, showcases the remarkable Miss Ida Hicks. At twenty-eight years old, Miss Hicks is a hardworking Lithuanian woman employed at the American Railway Express Company. In this image, she can be seen diligently sorting packages and weighing them with precision. Earning a mere seventy-nine and one-half cents per hour for her laborious efforts, it is evident that Miss Hicks has experienced various employment opportunities throughout her life. Previously working in a defense plant during wartime, she now finds herself contributing to the efficient functioning of the postal service. Parks' lens captures not only Miss Hicks' physical presence but also conveys a deeper message about America's social landscape during this era. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by individuals like Miss Hicks who find themselves living in poverty despite their dedication to work. As we observe this powerful portrait within its historical context - amidst World War II and an evolving nation - we are reminded of the importance of acknowledging every individual's contribution to society regardless of their background or circumstances. Through his lens, Parks invites us into Miss Hick's world; allowing us to witness her strength and resilience firsthand. This print stands as both an artistic masterpiece from one of history's greatest photographers and a testament to human perseverance amidst adversity.
