EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we see a young mother bringing her child to a trailer clinic in Merrill, Klamath County, Oregon. The image captures the essence of the Great Depression era in America and showcases the resilience of families during challenging times. The young mother's determined expression reflects her determination to seek medical care for her child despite their displacement. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) camp initiative, this mobile clinic provided much-needed healthcare services to those affected by economic hardships. Lange's composition highlights not only the individual struggle but also emphasizes the larger concept of forced migration and its impact on families across the country. The caravan-like setting symbolizes both hope and desperation as people sought refuge from their dire circumstances. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of access to healthcare during times of crisis. It also pays tribute to dedicated health workers who tirelessly served communities in need. Preserved within the Library of Congress' collection, Lange's work continues to be an invaluable historical record that sheds light on significant moments in American history. Through her lens, she captured not just faces but stories that resonate with audiences even today.
