EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the essence of a coal miner's family in 1938. Taken by Marion Post Wolcott, it showcases the wife and children of a hardworking coal miner as they sit together on their porch in Pursglove, West Virginia. The image is a snapshot of daily life during the Great Depression era, where poverty was rampant and families struggled to make ends meet. The woman, dressed in simple attire, exudes strength and resilience as she sits alongside her young son. Her worn-out denim overalls tell tales of long hours spent working to support her family. Behind them, a clothesline hangs with laundry drying in the breeze - a symbol of domesticity amidst challenging circumstances. The rustic porch railing frames this intimate scene while offering glimpses into the southeastern landscape that surrounds them. This photograph serves as an important historical document from the Farm Security Administration (FSA), capturing not only individual lives but also reflecting broader social issues prevalent during that time. Marion Post Wolcott's skillful composition allows us to empathize with this coal miner's family and appreciate their determination despite facing immense hardship. It reminds us of the profound impact that government initiatives like the New Deal had on ordinary Americans' lives during one of our nation's most challenging periods.
