During the 1938 pea harvest, the labor surplus was so severe that relief grants were needed even at the season`s height. This photograph, taken outside a Farm Security Administration grant office, records a stark moment of Depression-era hardship—and the growing number of Black migrant workers seeking aid.
This is Robert Edward Chambliss, known as “Dynamite Bob,” he was a lifelong Ku Klux Klan member and white supremacist from Birmingham, Alabama.
On September 15, 1963, he helped plant the dynamite bomb that exploded at the 16th Street Baptist Church, killing four young African American girls.
After years of delayed justice, Chambliss was convicted of murder in 1977 and sentenced to life in prison. He died behind bars in 1985, still denying any role in the attack that shocked the nation and became a defining moment of the civil rights era.
