       Polish immigrant women walk to the potato fields in the Ravendale neighborhood on Detroit’s east side, 1895.The economic depression between 1893 and 1897 hit the city of Detroit particularly hard, causing high unemployment and widespread poverty. The destitute conditions prompted then-mayor Hazen S. Pingree to ask that owners of vacant lots on city land allow the unemployed to grow vegetables for subsistence on those properties. It was hoped that the cultivation of produce by impoverished Detroiters would not only increase food supply and thus supplement income, but also provide a feeling of dignity and self-reliance for those who were forced by circumstances to do so.These small community vegetable farms would eventually come to be nicknamed ‘Pingree’s Potato Patches’ in honor of the man who inspired them. Haze Pingree would serve 4 terms as mayor of Detroit, and then a term as the 24th governor of Michigan.B48123CD-8DE3-479F-8474-F75AF9A…

       @ThreeOneThreeChris Imagine suggesting that the indigent population of Detroit farm potatoes for subsistence and dignity in 2019.

       @ThreeOneThreeChris The Current Year: a subliterate man purchases cheap alcohol from an immigrant using government provided money, scratched bulletproof plastic separating the two. He walks back through garbage strewn streets past burnt out tenements. This is presented as necessary, right, and just. Anyone who sees anything wrong with this picture and has the audacity to say it is called names and expelled from polite society.
