New-to-me, from The Dispatch (Mississippi): Historian captures state’s past, one marker at a time. “Every Saturday for two years, William ‘Brother’ Rogers hopped in the car, often with one or both of his sons, and set out across Mississippi, searching for history cast in metal. By 2016, Rogers had photographed every historic marker he knew of in all of Mississippi’s 82 counties…. Rogers […]

This black and white photograph depicts a young African American male, likely in his late teens or early twenties. He appears to be wearing a light-colored button-up shirt with the top few buttons undone at the collar, giving off an informal look. His hair is short-cropped, closely shaved on the sides but slightly longer on the top. The boy's expression is serious and contemplative as he gazes directly into the camera lens.
The background of the photograph is plain and dark, providing a stark contrast to his lighter skin tone and clothing. There are no discernible objects or features in the backdrop that provide context for the setting where this photo was taken. This image seems reminiscent of works by photographers like Dorothea Lange during her time documenting various social conditions.
Additional information about this photograph can be found through a reference provided: "Delta cooperative farm, Hillhouse, Mississippi," indicating its historical significance as part of agricultural developments or cooperatives in that region during the early 20th century. The name Clarence Weems suggests he was photographed by Dorothea Lange for her project on co-ops and possibly related to evictions from Arkansas due to his father's experiences with beatings and disappearances, highlighting socio-economic challenges faced by African American communities at that time.
The image is part of a collection titled "Dorothea Lange full,"  [...]

Sharecropper's wife and her youngest child. Near Cleveland, Mississippi

The image depicts a woman seated on a bed in what appears to be an interior room, possibly within a modest home or cabin. She is holding and gently looking down at a small infant wrapped in cloth. The woman has short hair styled closely to her head, wears minimal makeup with attention given to eye shadow and lipstick, and dons a sleeveless white top that exposes the upper portion of her arms.

Behind her on the wall hangs an empty bag labeled "Corduroy," suggesting she may be involved in some form of manual labor or has recently been shopping. The room is dimly lit with natural light coming through what seems to be a doorway, revealing a glimpse of another room or outdoor space beyond it. There's visible wear on the bed linens and wooden furniture around her, indicating modest living conditions.

The photograph carries historical weight as evidenced by its quality, black-and-white nature, and textual information at the bottom which reads "1520 3/6" in what could be a reference to an inventory or cataloging system.
