This black and white photograph features an older Black man standing outdoors. He is wearing a dark hat, a light-colored button-up shirt with rolled up sleeves, suspenders holding up striped trousers, and appears to be smiling slightly at the camera. His expression seems contemplative or content.

The background of the image is overexposed, suggesting it may have been taken on an unusually bright day or in high-contrast conditions which has caused some detail loss. The text "3-SOCP-A9" handwritten across the top indicates that this might be a photograph from a collection documenting social issues during the time.

The man's attire suggests he could be working class, possibly engaged in agricultural work given his practical clothing and setting. His union button on his shirt signifies membership or support for labor unions which were particularly active among American workers during certain historical periods of economic change and development.

Delta cooperative farm. Hillhouse, Mississippi. Clarence Weems, a young co-operator on the farm. He remembers the evictions in Arkansas, for his father was beaten and disappeared

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770223/

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," [...]

Child of sharecropper family near Cleveland, Mississippi

#Cleveland #Mississippi #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770190/

This black and white photograph features a young boy standing in front of an old wooden structure. He is wearing a striped, button-up shirt with shorts tucked into his pants. His expression appears solemn or contemplative as he gazes directly at the camera.

The setting suggests a rural environment, possibly from several decades ago given the style of clothing and construction materials visible. The boy's attire indicates that it might be warm weather outside. Behind him, there is a door with a small window pane and what seems to be an old-fashioned mail slot on its side.

There are additional elements in the background such as wooden panels with signs of wear or texture which contribute to the rustic ambiance of the scene. On one edge of the image, text appears that may provide context regarding the photograph's subject or source; however, it is not fully legible due to cropping and resolution constraints.

The overall mood conveyed by this photo seems to evoke a sense of quiet reflection amidst simplicity, possibly highlighting themes such as poverty, rural life, or childhood innocence during challenging times.

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

#Cleveland #Mississippi #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770210/

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.

Member of the Delta cooperative farm. Hillhouse, Mississippi

#Delta #Hillhouse #Mississippi #American #DorotheaLanges #undefined #photography #DorotheaLange

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017770214/

The photograph is a black and white image depicting an older man with weathered skin, dressed in casual work attire. He stands against a rough-textured wall that shows signs of wear, including chipped paint or plaster. His expression appears contemplative as he looks off into the distance over his left shoulder. The lighting casts shadows on his face and emphasizes the texture of his clothing and hands.

The man wears a cap with a worn look, suggesting outdoor labor use. His shirt is buttoned up to the collar but has visible wear marks indicating frequent handling or physical activity. He clasps one hand around his belt while resting the other arm across his chest, adding to the casual yet reflective pose.

The photograph exudes an aura of rural life and hard work, potentially highlighting themes from a historical perspective on American agricultural workers during the early 20th century. The reference indicates that this individual was likely part of a cooperative farm in Hillhouse, Mississippi, which may provide context for his attire, demeanor, and environment depicted.

There is handwritten text at the top left corner: "649538-CO-1", possibly indicating an archival or cataloging code related to Dorothea Lange's photography work.

Okay so it's a bit of #DeepCut #AbrahamLincoln #Lore but at one point in his life, he was gonna fight a duel with a broadsword on an island in the #Mississippi, but he demonstrated his reach and strength by chopping down a tree limb overhead and his opponent backed down.

So, I'm thinking Broadsword Lincoln should be the starting point for an indie #FightingGames
