VIRGINIA - STRAWBERRY FARM - A Glimpse into the Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph from the mid to late 19th century transports us back in time to a strawberry farm in Virginia. The image captures a significant moment as we see a white overseer accompanied by two children, all observing the diligent work of African American workers during the harvest season. The plantation setting is brought to life with rows upon rows of luscious strawberry plants stretching out before us. African American men and women can be seen diligently picking strawberries, their hard work contributing to the success of this bountiful crop. In this snapshot from history, we witness not only the labor-intensive process of harvesting strawberries but also an insight into social dynamics at that time. The presence of both Caucasian overseers and young onlookers suggests a complex relationship between those who owned or managed plantations and those who worked tirelessly on them. As we reflect upon this photograph, it serves as a reminder of our shared past and invites us to contemplate how far we have come since then. It prompts us to acknowledge the contributions made by individuals from diverse backgrounds throughout history while encouraging dialogue about equality and justice for all. This remarkable piece is part of The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, offering glimpses into different aspects of American life during the 19th century.
