MIGRANT FAMILY, 1938 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of a Working-Class American Family
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures a migrant worker and his family as they camp on the outskirts of Perrytown, Texas in June 1938. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by countless families during that time. In this snapshot, we see an exhausted yet determined father standing tall beside his makeshift tent. His weathered face tells stories of hardship and resilience. Beside him stands his wife, her eyes filled with both weariness and hope for a better future. Their children surround them - two young boys barefooted and clad in tattered clothes, while their sister clings to her mother's side. The scene evokes feelings of poverty and destitution as these individuals navigate through uncertain times. The family's meager belongings scattered around them are testament to their transient lifestyle as they search for work opportunities in unfamiliar territories. Dorothea Lange's lens immortalizes not only the struggles but also the strength within this migrant family. Through her powerful composition, she sheds light on the plight of working-class Americans during an era marked by economic turmoil. This photo serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, families like these persevered with unwavering determination to provide for their loved ones. It is a testament to human resilience in times of great hardship – an enduring symbol
