EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, taken by Russell Lee in 1940, transports us to the heart of rural New Mexico during the Great Depression era. The image showcases a modest wooden church nestled amidst the vast expanse of Pie Town's rugged landscape.

It invites us to reflect on our own lives and appreciate the enduring power of community bonds that
