EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MIGRANT WORKERS, 1913" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by Lewis Hine in October 1913, the image showcases a group of itinerant farmers on the farm they have rented for one year from J. W. Vaughn in Corsicana, Texas. The scene depicts a family living amidst challenging circumstances during the early 20th century. A worn farmhouse stands as their shelter while a horse-drawn wagon symbolizes their nomadic lifestyle. The men wear hats and ride horses, embodying resilience and determination as they navigate through rural landscapes to find work opportunities. In this snapshot of time, we witness the struggles faced by these migrant workers who rely on cotton picking for survival. Despite poverty and hardships, there is an undeniable sense of unity within this group; women with bonnets cradle babies while barefoot children gather around them. Lewis Hine's lens not only documents but also sheds light on child labor prevalent at that time. Young boys are seen actively participating in farm work instead of enjoying carefree childhoods. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to an era when migration was common among working-class families seeking better prospects in the Southwest region of America. It serves as a reminder of our collective past and highlights the resilience displayed by those who shaped our nation's agricultural landscape during turn-of-the-century America.
