EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black-and-white photograph captures the harrowing reality faced by an Arkansas family during the devastating flood of 1937. In Marianna, a small rural town nestled along the Ohio River, Edwin Locke's lens immortalizes their extraordinary escape aboard a homemade ark. As floodwaters engulfed their community, this courageous family took matters into their own hands. Constructing a sturdy vessel resembling Noah's Ark from available materials, they sought refuge from the rising tides that threatened to wash away everything they held dear. In this poignant image frozen in time, we witness their determination etched on each face. The father stands tall at the helm, guiding his loved ones through treacherous waters with unwavering faith and strength.

Through this photograph, we bear witness to not only one family's plight but also an entire region grappling with loss and
