Notes about the image

  1. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
  2. The family photo, which became famous – used in hisory books and online media – was arranged by the Chicago Defender, who originally published it September 4, 1920, with the following caption:
“ Facing starvation, Scott Arthur and his family, driven from home like dogs, girls assaulted, sons burned at the stake by Paris, TX mob, arrive in Chicago without money and homeless! They were taken in charge by Dr. W. W. Lucas, secretary of the Co-Operative Society of America, who discovered them in the Polk Street Station Monday. ”
Despite the use of the photo throughout history, the Arthur family is rarely identified.
Rev. Dr. Lucas (né William W. Lucas; 1865–1926) posed with the family in the photo, but was cropped out (see his arm at the far left).[3]
