This photograph was printed in 2020 for Magnum Square Prints, as part of a benefit sale--half the proceeds went to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

This photo was taken in 1951. The artist writes: "In 1951, Life Magazine staff photographer W. Eugene Smith presented a radical idea for a photo essay to his editors. He wanted to document the heroic efforts of a black nurse midwife, Maude Collen, to provide critical health care services to her impoverished community of 10,000 people in rural South Carolina.
