Nick Phillips (81 years old) and his wife in front of their house in Ashland (Missouri, May 1936).

Flood refugees from Arkansas near Memphis (Texas, 1937).  These people, with all their belongings, are bound for the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where they hope to pick cotton.

Cotton hoers from Memphis, Tennessee are carried by trucks to the Arkansas plantations (1937).  The trucks leave at five in the morning, and the hoers are paid one dollar a day.
