That picture is so sad. White people suffering from poverty.
People today with a two week memory should see pictures like that. History is being destroyed. Thanks for posting that.
Another FReeper posted one last year of a poor white family picking cotton.

This is a relative of mine from 1910 in the Bessie Coal Mine. He was 14 years old in this picture. He later died in a mine cave in at the age of 31 and left a pregnant wife. Show me the "White Privilege."
Those are heavy greese buckets. He was a " a 'greaser' on the tipple", which is the device that tips the coal cars over to empty them when they come out of the ground.
Here he is with his coworkers.
