The figures waiting in front of the billboard is the element of Margaret Bourke-white’s Louisville flood victims that might fit henri cartier-bresson’s notion of the decisive moment.
In January 1937, Louisville, Kentucky and its surrounding areas were flooded by the Ohio River. Photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White boarded the next plane available and filmed the city on the fly from her makeshift raft and captured one of the greatest natural disasters in American history.
The Louisville floods, depicts African Americans lined up in front of flood relief organizations. In contrast to their stern faces, the National Association of Manufacturers sign above them, read "World’s Highest Standard of Living. There’s no way like the American Way.”
Powerfully expressing the gap between the propagandist depiction of American life and the economic hardships of minorities and the poor, Burke-White's images are long afterlife in the history of photography.
