EDITORS COMMENTS
Grading oranges at a co-op orange packing plant, Redlands, Calif. 1943. A snapshot of bustling activity within the heart of America's citrus fruit industry during the Second World War. In this image captured by Jack Delano, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when the nation relied on its agricultural prowess to sustain and nourish its people. The photograph showcases an assembly line of dedicated workers meticulously sorting and grading vibrant oranges with utmost precision. Each individual dons their work attire, reflecting the fashion clothing trends of the 1940s - a testament to both their dedication and pride in their laborious tasks. Within these walls lies not just an industrial facility but also a cooperative spirit that defines American resilience and unity. The co-op nature of this orange packing plant highlights how communities came together during challenging times to support one another for a common cause. Delano's lens captures more than just an ordinary workplace; it immortalizes the hardworking men and women who played vital roles in ensuring our nation's sustenance amidst war-torn years. Their gloved hands delicately handle each piece of fruit, embodying care and commitment towards delivering only the finest produce from Southern California's fertile soil. As we gaze upon this still image frozen in time, let us remember those who labored tirelessly behind closed doors - unsung heroes whose efforts sustained our country while they themselves remained hidden within history's pages.
