EDITORS COMMENTS
NORTH DAKOTA: STREET, 1937 captures a haunting scene in the aftermath of a dust storm that swept through Williston, North Dakota. This powerful photograph by Russell Lee, taken in November 1937 during the Great Depression era, showcases the resilience and tenacity of the people living in this small town. The image portrays a desolate street lined with storefronts and barber shops adorned with striped awnings. The once bustling sidewalk now bears witness to the destructive force of nature as litter and tumbleweeds scatter across its surface. Men can be seen navigating their way through this post-apocalyptic landscape, their faces etched with determination. Amidst the chaos, one man stands outside a barber shop holding onto his newspaper tightly against his chest. His presence symbolizes hope amidst despair—a reminder that life goes on even when faced with adversity. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by communities during this tumultuous period in American history. It also highlights how art can capture not only moments frozen in time but also emotions and stories untold. NORTH DAKOTA: STREET, 1937 is an evocative piece that transports viewers back to an early West where dust storms were part of everyday life. It stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as a visual representation of America's journey towards recovery during times of hardship.
