This 1940s documentary depicts the daily life of black farmers in Calhoun, Lowndes County, Alabama. The video has been enhanced to 60fps, Sound Design and colorized using AI technology to provide a more vivid experience.

The video shows the farmers working on their farms, plowing soil with cows, driving tractors, and performing other general farm work. The footage also includes children attending school, playing checkers, cooking food, and receiving health instruction.

The original footage catalogue reads: "Documentary: On the Calhoun School, Lowndes County, Alabama, which is attended by Negro farm residents. Shows poorly managed farms and poverty conditions; children go to rural school. Portrait of Miss Charlotte R. Thorne, Caucasian foundress of Calhoun School; campus buildings; Dr. Jerome F. Kidder, Principal; classes include health instruction; campus life; students help to improve roads and local agricultural methods. Graduation ceremonies and dance. Mary McLeod Bethune, Director of Negro Affairs Division of Youth Administration, addresses graduates."
