Arkansas tenant farmers evicted January 1936
Families of evicted sharecroppers of the Dibble plantation near Parkin, Arkansas, who were legally evicted during the week of January 12, 1936. The court found in favor of the landowner, who charged that by membership in the Southern Tenant Farmers Union they were engaging in a conspiracy to retain their homes. The photograph was taken just after the evictions — at gunpoint — before the families were moved into a tent colony.
