In 1939, during the waning years of the Great Depression, a poignant photograph taken by Arthur Rothstein captured the resilience and struggles of a wife of an evicted sharecropper in New Madrid County, Missouri. The image shows her cooking beans, sourced from surplus commodities, in a makeshift tent along a highway. This stark scene illustrates the hardships faced by millions during one of the most challenging periods in American history.
The Great Depression, spanning from 1929 to 1939, left countless families destitute as unemployment soared and economic instability gripped the nation. Sharecroppers, often already living in poverty, were among the hardest hit. Displaced by falling crop prices and the mechanization of agriculture, many were forced off the land they had cultivated for generations. For this woman and her family, the tent along the highway symbolized both their displacement and their unyielding determination to survive.
Rothstein’s photograph is more than a visual record; it is a testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity. Her simple act of preparing beans—a humble meal—underscores the resilience required to endure such hardships. Families like hers often relied on government relief programs, including surplus food distributions, to make ends meet.
This haunting image, part of a larger body of work documenting the era, serves as a reminder of the profound challenges faced by ordinary Americans during the Depression. It also highlights their courage and resourcefulness, reflecting the indomitable will to carry on despite overwhelming odds. "In the face of scarcity, resilience becomes a feast of hope."

Sadao Munemori was born in 1922 in Los Angeles, California, to Japanese immigrant parents and grew up in nearby Glendale, where he fell in love with swimming and got the nickname Spud as a kid because he preferred potatoes to rice.

After high school, he worked as a mechanic. Then, he enlisted in the army in 1941, about a month before the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred.

Despite the ensuing prejudice against Japanese Americans and Sadao's family being sent to the Manzanar internment camp in central California, Sadao remained committed to his service. In a letter to his sister a couple of years later, he wrote, "I think I did right by enlisting because my home is here in the U.S." He would be one of about 33,000 Japanese Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II.

In 1943, Sadao joined the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, a unit of American-born Japanese men. The following year, the unit was sent to Italy to engage in combat. "This war is hell and it's no place for anybody to be. I never knew I could pray so darn seriously until they started shelling holy hell out of us one day. One time the guys in a hole a few yards away got it and just missed us," Sadao wrote his sister.

And it was there in Italy, during a battle, that Sadao lost his life when he dove on an enemy gr***de to save the lives of two fellow soldiers. He was 22 years old.

For his extraordinary bravery, Sadao was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration awarded by the U.S.
