Description

The tractor is pulling a trailer full of cotton. Another trailer of cotton is parked beside the building ahead of him, and several men are seated on a bench beside it. The same day, the driver picked cotton in the field of Mrs. Minnie B. Guice. This image was taken for one of two photo spreads that appeared in The Southern Courier for September 10-11, 1966 ("Cotton Fields Part One"), and September 17-18, 1966 ("Cotton Fields Part Two").
