EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Family, 1935" captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. The image showcases an Oklahoma potato pickers family camping on the flats near Shafter, California. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1935, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily life of rural migrant workers. In this powerful composition, we see a young girl sitting on a makeshift bed made from buckets while her parents tend to their meager shelter - a humble tent that provides little respite from the harsh realities of poverty. The father holds a guitar, perhaps offering solace through music amidst their struggles. Lange's lens expertly conveys both the resilience and vulnerability of this working-class family. Their faces tell stories of hardship and determination as they navigate an uncertain future in search of better opportunities out West. This photograph serves as a visual testament to the impact of migration and highlights the social issues addressed by Roosevelt's New Deal policies. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it reminds us to acknowledge our shared humanity and consider how far we have come since then. It stands as a reminder that even in times of adversity, families like these found strength within themselves and each other to persevere against all odds.
