EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Person County, North Carolina during a time of great economic struggle - the Great Depression. The image showcases a tobacco barn standing proudly amidst the picturesque countryside. In front of this rustic structure, we see a tobacco sled and an accompanying vehicle used for conveying these sleds. Lange's lens beautifully captures the essence of rural life in America during this era. The dilapidated barn stands as a testament to the hardships faced by farmers who relied on their crops for survival. It serves as both shelter for their valuable tobacco harvest and a symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. The presence of these conveyance tools hints at the laborious process involved in transporting tobacco from field to market. Sharecroppers and farmers would load their precious cargo onto these sleds before hitching them to vehicles like this one, navigating treacherous roads with determination etched on their faces. Through her lens, Lange not only documents history but also sheds light on social issues such as poverty and recession that plagued rural communities during this period. This powerful still image serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers insight into an important chapter in American history. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us remember those who persevered through challenging times while cherishing our progress towards brighter futures.
