EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the resilience and struggles of a family during the Great Depression in America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, it depicts a family who had migrated to Klamath County, Oregon after working in the hop harvest. The image showcases the living conditions of this displaced family within an FSA camp unit. The worn-out clothing worn by each member tells a story of hardship and economic instability. The mother, dressed in an apron and bib overalls, stands with her young son while holding a broom and bucket - symbols of their daily chores. Lange's composition highlights the determination etched on their faces as they navigate through forced displacement and migration. Their strength is mirrored by the boy's presence, representing hope for future generations amidst such adversity. This photograph serves as a reminder of how families like these faced immense challenges during one of America's darkest periods. It also sheds light on the Farm Security Administration's efforts to provide housing and support for those affected by poverty and displacement. Preserved at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, this powerful image captured by Dorothea Lange continues to be an enduring symbol that evokes empathy for those impacted by economic hardships.
