EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph captured by Walker Evans, we are transported back to Hale County, Alabama in 1936. The subject of the image is Dora Mae Tengle, a young girl who embodies the struggles faced by sharecroppers' families during the Great Depression. Standing in front of a dilapidated building that serves as her family's humble abode, Dora Mae appears both resilient and vulnerable. Her eyes reflect a maturity beyond her years as she gazes directly at the camera lens with an air of quiet determination. Beside her stands a pig pen, symbolizing their meager means of sustenance amidst economic hardship.
