EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a significant moment in history - the year is 1937, and we find ourselves in Marianna, Arkansas. The image depicts a scene from a flood refugee camp where an inoculation for typhoid is being administered to a brave African American refugee. The photographer, Edwin Locke, skillfully captures the gravity of the situation through his lens. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the compassion and dedication of a Caucasian doctor who tirelessly works to protect public health during this challenging period. Surrounding them are other men and women seeking refuge from the devastating flood that has displaced their lives. The composition evokes both hope and resilience as it showcases individuals coming together across racial lines to combat adversity. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity amidst trying times. Granger Art on Demand presents us with this historical gem that sheds light on an often overlooked chapter in American history. Through its stark simplicity, this photograph invites us to reflect upon the strength of community bonds forged even under dire circumstances. As we gaze at this poignant image captured by Edwin Locke over eight decades ago, let us honor those who endured hardships while also acknowledging progress made since then – progress towards equality and inclusivity that continues to shape our nation's story today.
