July 1939. "Detail of square dance in hills near McAlester, Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. Sharecropper's home." Medium format acetate negative by Russell Lee for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
In July in Oklahoma the temp is almost always in the triple digits and it seems like it would be stifling to be crammed into a sharecropper's tiny home with only a window slightly open for air and of course no a/c, with everybody dancing madly. I find the African American art on the wall of interest also.
