Arnold S. Eagle

He joined the Workers Film and Photo League in 1932 to use his art to promote radical social change.

In 1935, the Works Progress Administration hired him to photograph New York slums, the Second Avenue El district and the Lower East Side.

These photographs were published in the 1992 book At Home Only With God: Believing Jews and Their Children, with an essay by Arthur Hertzberg.

[3] The series was inspired by Franklin D. Roosevelt's "one-third of a nation" (the ill-clothed, ill-housed and ill-nourished) strategy.

[4] Eagle was the director of the photography workshop of the National Youth Administration with his assistant, Harold Corsini, from 1939 to 1942.
