Rosie is shucking oysters in South Carolina. "Hine's original caption 'She used to talk about when she was young and they traveled from Baltimore to South Carolina and then back to Baltimore to pick fruits and vegetables. I know that she grew up in Baltimore. They were poor, and they lived in a tenement house. She never talked about going to school. We always wondered how she learned to read and write.'" —Daughter of Rose Berdych Time Magazine
