EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Worker, 1939" captures the essence of a woman's resilience during one of America's most challenging times. The image depicts a migrant woman from Arkansas, standing tall in front of her tent at a contractors camp near Westley, California. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in April 1939, this portrait showcases the strength and determination etched on the woman's face. Her apron suggests her involvement in farm work or domestic chores within the camp. With a cup in hand, she pauses for a moment amidst her daily struggles as if contemplating her uncertain future. The setting itself speaks volumes about the era it represents - early 1930s America during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl period. This powerful image is an embodiment of poverty and hardship faced by countless families who were forced to migrate due to economic hardships. Lange's photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human suffering and hope that emerged from President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at providing relief to those affected by economic downturns. It stands as a testament to the working class individuals who persevered through adversity with unwavering determination. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while acknowledging the indomitable spirit that defines us as Americans.
