EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "TENNESSEE: FLOOD, 1937" takes us back to a moment of resilience and determination in Memphis. The image showcases workers on the levee during the devastating flood of the mighty Mississippi River. Photographed by Edwin Locke in February 1937, this snapshot captures the essence of a community coming together in times of crisis. Men clad in rugged work attire can be seen tirelessly stacking sandbags along the levee, their faces etched with determination as they battle against nature's fury. The scene is set against an early morning backdrop, with faint rays of sunlight breaking through dark clouds overhead. A truck parked nearby serves as a reminder that these workers are not alone in their efforts; they have come equipped with machinery to aid them in their fight against rising waters. This photograph is a testament to human strength and solidarity amidst adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with overwhelming challenges, communities can unite to protect what matters most - each other. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand's collection, we are transported back to a time where resilience was tested but ultimately triumphed over Mother Nature's wrath.
