"This Land Ain't My Land: The Eviction of Sharecroppers by the Farm Security Administration"
A sharecropper mother teaches her children the alphabet and numbers at home in Transylvania, Louisiana, 1939.
"FSA photographer Russell Lee went to Transylvania in January 1939, as the evicted tenants were packing up and the new white clients were arriving. One of his photographs has become widely used. It shows a woman pointing to letters drawn on a cloth hung on the wall of her home, with the phrase 'The rain are falling.' It is deeply enigmatic as are the images of black sharecroppers and white FSA clients in the series.
The significance becomes clearer once the viewer realizes that the black sharecropper family is not simply being 'resettled,' but that their school has been transferred to the white clients and that this family is among the last to leave."
