This is why we have volunteers and food banks, and why we have to help each other so this never happens again.

No matter how many times I've seen this photo (hundreds) it never fails to effect me. I appreciate what this images says about poverty, strength, weakness, America, The Great depression, family, motherhood, children, dependence, photography and art.
This image says so much to me.
I am hard pressed to think of another image that evokes the so many emotions in me. This is truly one of the best photographs ever taken.
in my humble opinion, naturally.
