EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, takes us back to a significant era in American history. The image titled "Between Tulare and Fresno, On U. S. 99" showcases a stretch of highway dotted with numerous auto camps that served as essential accommodations for migrant farm workers during the Great Depression. Lange's lens transports us to California's countryside where rustic wooden cabins stand proudly amidst the vast landscape. These humble structures symbolize hope and resilience amid economic hardship. The lettering on one of the cabins reveals its purpose - providing shelter for those seeking employment opportunities in agriculture. As we delve into this still image, we are reminded of Lange's remarkable ability to capture not only physical surroundings but also deeper socio-economic concepts within her photography. Through her work commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), she documented rural life during times of recession, shedding light on the struggles faced by marginalized communities. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this photograph serves as a testament to Lange's legacy as an influential photographer who used her artistry to advocate for social justice. It stands as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, there is beauty to be found in human perseverance and unity against challenging circumstances.
