COTTON PICKER, 1938 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of African American Migrant Workers during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in history - an African American migrant worker toiling away in the cotton fields of San Joaquin Valley, California. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in November 1938, this image serves as a stark reminder of the hardships faced by marginalized communities during one of America's darkest periods. The man depicted here represents countless others who sought employment on plantations amidst economic turmoil. With his worn-out clothes and weathered face, he embodies resilience and determination despite being part of the working class struggling to make ends meet. Lange's lens exposes not only physical labor but also emotional exhaustion etched onto his face. The weighty sack slung over his shoulder symbolizes both hope for survival and a burden that must be carried day after day. As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, which aimed to alleviate poverty through government intervention, this photograph sheds light on the impact it had on individuals like this anonymous worker. It reminds us that behind every statistic lies a human story waiting to be told. Decades later, this image continues to resonate with its viewers as a testament to resilience and perseverance against adversity. It stands as an enduring tribute to those whose contributions often went unnoticed or unacknowledged throughout history. Granger Art on Demand presents "COTTON PICKER
