Family, one month from South Dakota, now. . . Tulelake, Siskiyou County, California, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 tells a powerful story of resilience and hope during the Great Depression. The image showcases a family on their journey from South Dakota to California in search of a better life. They find themselves in Tulelake, Siskiyou County - a place that holds promises of new beginnings. The composition centers around an old automobile that serves as both their mode of transportation and symbolizes their dreams for a brighter future. A unique detail catches the eye - a devil hood ornament playfully thumbing its nose at the hardships they have left behind. Barefooted children stand beside their parents; their innocent faces reflecting determination despite the challenges they face. The mother's expression reveals her strength and love as she embraces her role as caregiver and nurturer amidst uncertainty. Dorothea Lange's masterful photography captures not only the physical journey but also the emotional weight carried by these migrants. Through her lens, we witness the struggles faced by countless families during this era of economic recession. This photograph is part of Lange's remarkable documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) which aimed to shed light on America's social conditions. It stands as a testament to human resilience and reminds us of our shared history while urging us to reflect upon our present circumstances.
