EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Burroughs and Floyd Burroughs, Hale County, Alabama, 1936. A poignant portrait captured by renowned photographer Walker Evans during the Great Depression era in America. In this photograph, we see a powerful depiction of fatherhood and the struggles faced by sharecroppers in the rural South. Floyd Burroughs, a hardworking tenant farmer, stands tall with his young son Charles beside him. Their worn clothes and tired expressions reflect the harsh realities of their lives as they navigate through economic hardship and poverty. The image serves as a reminder of the devastating impact that the Great Depression had on families across the United States. Evans' composition beautifully captures both strength and vulnerability within this still image. The bond between father and son is evident in their shared gaze towards an uncertain future. It speaks volumes about resilience amidst adversity. This photograph was part of Evans' documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI). Through his lens, he aimed to shed light on social issues plaguing American society at that time. Today, this iconic print serves as a historical record - a window into an important chapter in American history. It reminds us to appreciate our progress while acknowledging those who endured hardships before us.
