EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures a moment in history that is both haunting and significant. The scene depicts African-American workers picking cotton on a plantation beside the Mississippi River in 1883. In the background, we see the imposing plantation house to the left, with workers' cabins lined up to its right.
The jetty in the center of the image serves as a reminder of how vital cotton was to the economy at that time, with bales being loaded onto paddle steamers for transport. The landscape is vast and seemingly endless, highlighting the backbreaking labor that these individuals endured day in and day out.
This chromolithograph not only showcases the physical work involved in agriculture and textile production but also speaks volumes about race relations and social hierarchy during this period in American history. It serves as a stark reminder of our country's dark past and challenges us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
As we gaze upon this piece of art, let us remember those who labored under oppressive conditions so that others could profit. May it serve as a call to action for continued progress towards equality and justice for all.
