MIGRANT CAMP, 1939 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Mexican Migrant Workers in Strathmore, California
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Dorothea Lange takes us back to a significant moment in American history - the year 1939 during the Great Depression. The image showcases a Mexican migrant family's camp near Strathmore, California. It offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities faced by working-class families during this challenging time. In this snapshot, we see an exterior view of a humble shanty that serves as their home. Surrounding it is evidence of their daily struggles; agricultural tools scattered around, symbolizing their hard work on nearby farms. A woman stands outside with her dog at her side, embodying strength and resilience amidst adversity. Lange's composition beautifully captures both the dignity and vulnerability of these individuals who were part of America's vast migrant workforce. Their faces tell stories etched with determination and hope for better days ahead. This photograph is not merely an artistic representation but also holds historical significance as it documents one aspect of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at providing relief to those affected by economic hardship. As we reflect upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, let us remember the countless unsung heroes who contributed to shaping our nation while enduring immense challenges along their journey towards prosperity.
