Aug 24th, 2017: Ruby
A guy name Joe Manning is intrigued by the 13.6 million photographs taken by the Farm Securities
Administration and Office of War Information, which are held by the Library of Congress. Starting with a photograph and “Daughter of migrant Tennessee coal miner”, with the help of a CA reporter he tracked Ruby and her relatives. Ruby died in 1970 at the age of 53. The obit requested donations to the Cancer Society so that’s likely what got her. Fuck cancer. But through her kin Joe discovered the details of her life. For his Old Photos Project he interviewed one of the FSA photographers, Arthur Rothstein, and asked him, “What one factor about Americans could more or less sum up an American quality?” Quote:
How Manning and the CA reporter tracked Ruby down is an interesting story.
