EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the harsh realities of the Great Depression in Kern County, California. The image shows a billboard along U.S. 99, advertising an unidentified company, serving as a stark contrast to the three destitute families of migrants who have set up camp behind it. The families, displaced by economic hardships, are seen huddled together around a makeshift fire, their meager belongings scattered around them. The father of one family looks on with concern as his young son clings to him, while the mother of another family holds a baby in her arms. A third family member, likely an older child, stands nearby, gazing off into the distance. The photograph, taken during Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration, is a poignant reminder of the forced displacement and homelessness that plagued many Americans during this period. Lange's haunting image, with its raw and unfiltered portrayal of human suffering, continues to resonate with viewers today, serving as a testament to the enduring power of photography to document and preserve history.
