Roofer and Daughter in Tent Home Corpus Christi 1940

A roofer and his young daughter stand in front of their tent home in Corpus Christi Texas. In December 1940 the man sustained a back injury that prevented him from working at a nearby naval air training base. Roofers earned one dollar per hour and faced job insecurity during inclement weather. This image is part of the FSA/OWI Collection.
