Description
Photograph of a crying Afro-American child in a field of cotton, ca.1920. The child can be seen with her mouth open at the bottom center, and is visible wearing long sleeves and what appears to be gloves. Leaves as tall as the child can be seen in the field towards the background. A few trees can be seen behind a dirt road which runs behind the field, while mountains are visible in the distance.
