EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the resilience and strength of an African American migrant worker in Louisiana during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in July 1937, it offers a glimpse into the life of this unidentified woman as she stands under a parasol to shield herself from the scorching summer sun. In this portrait, we see a woman who exudes both grace and determination. Her presence is commanding, standing tall amidst her rural surroundings. The hat she wears adds an air of sophistication to her working-class attire, symbolizing her pride and self-respect despite challenging circumstances. Lange's lens beautifully captures the essence of this African American woman's experience during a time when opportunities were scarce for people like her. As part of Roosevelt's New Deal program, Lange was commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) to document the lives of those affected by poverty and unemployment across America. Through this photograph, we are reminded of the countless untold stories that exist within marginalized communities throughout history. It serves as a poignant reminder that behind every face lies a unique narrative waiting to be heard. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact - preserving not only Dorothea Lange's remarkable talent but also shedding light on an often overlooked chapter in our nation's past.
