Just Arrived from Kansas - A Glimpse into the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to a desolate highway near Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. The image depicts a family's arduous journey as they migrate in search of work during the heart-wrenching era of the Great Depression. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a father diligently changing a tire on their worn-out truck while his young son stands nearby. The tiredness etched on their faces tells tales of hardship and uncertainty. A mattress is tightly secured to the side of their vehicle—a makeshift symbol of both necessity and resourcefulness. Lange's lens captures not only individuals but also an entire nation grappling with economic turmoil. This photograph serves as a stark reminder that even amidst vast landscapes and open roads, poverty knows no boundaries. The Farm Security Administration (FSA), under which Lange worked at the time, aimed to document the struggles faced by migrant families like these—families seeking employment opportunities far from home. Through her lens, Lange humanizes these anonymous faces and sheds light on their resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as both an artifact from our past and a testament to human perseverance. It reminds us that history has its own stories to tell through photographs—stories that continue to resonate with us decades later.
