Caption reads: "Sharecropper's Family at Home -- Two years ago, the husband of this woman died and she took up his work as sharecropper to support her four children, ranging in age from 4 to 14. Illy clothed and with only the barest necessities of life, utter dejection is written on her face in this photo, one of a series of six. With the widowed sharecropper in their shanty near Matthews, Ga., are two of her children and her brother (right)." The shack is filthy, and the family is sitting around a blackened fireplace with one log supporting a small flame. Their clothes are old and in tatters.
