Georgia sharecropper sorts tobacco.
Shot in July 1938 by influential American documentary photographer and photojournalist, Dorothea Lange when she was working as a staff photographer for a federal agency, this photo is from near Douglas, Georgia.
From the caption card for the negative, “ ‘You don’t have to worriate so much and you’ve got time to raise somp’n to eat.’ The program to eliminate the risk and uncertainty of a one-crop system meets the approval of this sharecropper.”
