EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Arthur Rothstein captures a poignant moment in American history during the 1940s. Titled "Boys sitting on truck parked at the FSA labor camp, Robstown, Texas" it offers a glimpse into the lives of children growing up in challenging circumstances. The image showcases two young boys perched on an old truck, their faces reflecting both innocence and resilience. The setting is a Farm Security Administration (FSA) labor camp in Robstown, Texas. These camps were established to provide temporary housing for migrant workers and their families who traveled across the country seeking employment opportunities during this era. The boys' presence here suggests that they are part of one such family. Rothstein's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the photograph, highlighting details like the license plate on the truck which reads "Mexico". This detail hints at these boys' Mexican heritage and perhaps their journey from Mexico to seek better prospects in America. Through this still image, Rothstein invites us to contemplate themes of childhood, immigration, and rural life during a significant period in American history. It serves as a reminder of the diverse experiences that have shaped our nation's identity while honoring those whose stories often go untold.
