MIGRANT SHACK, 1910 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Working-Class Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the harsh reality faced by the De Marco family in Pemberton, New Jersey, during the early 20th century. The image showcases a small shack nestled amidst Forsythes Bog, serving as both shelter and home to this resilient family of ten. Taken by Lewis Hine in September 1910, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of migrant workers who toiled tirelessly on cranberry farms. With sepia tones evoking nostalgia for a bygone era, it portrays an adolescent boy alongside his siblings - two sisters and a baby brother - standing outside their humble abode. The cramped living conditions depicted here speak volumes about the challenges faced by working-class families at that time. This single room served as their refuge from poverty and rural hardships. Despite their meager circumstances, these children radiate resilience and determination through their expressions. Hine's lens captures not only individuals but also sheds light on broader societal issues such as housing inequality and economic disparity prevalent during America's turn-of-the-century era. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless families striving for survival in pursuit of better opportunities. As we reflect upon this powerful image captured over a century ago, let us remember those who came before us – ordinary people whose stories deserve recognition. May it serve as an enduring reminder that progress is built upon empathy and
