EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1937, capturing an elementary classroom for migrant children at Skyline Farms in Alabama. The image, captured by renowned photographer Arthur Rothstein in February of that year, provides a glimpse into the daily life of these young students during a time marked by the Great Depression. In this rustic one-room schoolhouse, we see a group of eager pupils huddled around a wooden barrel serving as their makeshift desk. A dedicated schoolteacher stands before them, passionately teaching a lesson on literacy and spelling. The blackboard behind her bears evidence of previous lessons learned and serves as a visual aid to support their education. The scene showcases the resilience and determination of both the students and their teacher amidst challenging circumstances. As migrant workers in rural Alabama, these children faced numerous obstacles but were still afforded an opportunity for education through government initiatives like the New Deal's Farm Security Administration (FSA). This photograph not only captures an important moment in American history but also highlights the power of education to uplift communities during times of hardship. It serves as a reminder that even in difficult times, knowledge remains invaluable and can empower individuals to overcome adversity.
