In this poignant photograph taken by Jack Delany in 1941, we see a young boy, the son of a tenant farmer in Greensboro, Alabama. The boy stands on his porch, his gaze fixed in the distance, waiting for someone. His mother can be seen in the background, observing the scene. There is a sense of quiet reflection and anticipation in the air, as neither of them wears a smile. The photograph captures a moment of contemplation and perhaps longing, offering a glimpse into the lives of rural communities during that era.
