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.

The pictures are from https://www.shorpy.com/ and are from the archives of the "Library of Congress."
