EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality of poverty during the Great Depression in 1936. In this image titled "Poverty: Lean-To" we see a twelve-year-old girl shouldering the responsibility of cooking for her family in their makeshift lean-to kitchen. The photographer, Carl Mydans, expertly portrays the daily struggles faced by countless American families during this tumultuous time. The young girl's determined expression reveals a maturity beyond her years as she tends to a wood-burning stove, preparing what is likely their only meal of the day. Surrounding her are remnants of an impoverished life - ragged clothes, sacks used for storage, and a simple wooden table that serves as both preparation area and dining space. Taken on a roadside in Tennessee's rural southeast region, this photograph offers us a glimpse into the dire circumstances faced by those affected by homelessness and poverty. It serves as a poignant reminder of how economic hardship can strip away even the most basic necessities. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program aimed at alleviating suffering caused by the Great Depression, Mydans' photograph was commissioned under the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Its purpose was to raise awareness about social issues and advocate for change. Decades later, this image continues to resonate with viewers worldwide, serving as an enduring symbol of resilience amidst adversity and reminding us never to forget those who have been left behind in times of crisis.
