From the Camden Series, photographs of children Trick-or-Treating on Broad Street in Camden. Camden is the largest town in Wilcox, County the poorest county in the state, 38 miles from Selma, Alabama. Arthur Rothstein and Marion Post Wolcott photographed in Gee’s Bend across the river from Camden in 1947 for the FSA. Rothstein photographed Artelia Bendolph, whom he often referred to as Queen on the Nile.The 2010 census lists the median income for a family as $22,100 and one out of four households has a female head with no husband present. Halloween is the great equalizer, where children get to be what they want to be, a gorilla, a hooded ninja, a convict, a sparkle fairy before they grow up and find that these things mean something else. Siblings in this community care for their younger family members, carrying them and protecting them.
