🏚️ This Was a Working Man's Home in 1937 America

😶 The People Who Built America Never Got to Enjoy It
Description:
Scotts Run, West Virginia was notorious during the Great Depression as one of the most desperate coal mining communities in the country. Miners there worked brutal hours for poverty wages, often paid in company scrip rather than real money — forcing them to shop only at company-owned stores. Housing was provided by coal companies and was often little more than crumbling stone or wood shacks. Eleanor Roosevelt personally visited Scotts Run in the 1930s and was so moved by the conditions that she championed the creation of Arthurdale, a New Deal resettlement community, to relocate families out of the area. This colorized photo brings a face to the statistics of an era defined by suffering and forgotten labor.
