EDITORS COMMENTS
DROUGHT REFUGEES, 1936. This poignant print captures the harsh reality faced by refugee children from Oklahoma during the Great Depression. Taken in November 1936 at a migrant camp in California, the image showcases their resilience amidst extreme poverty and displacement. Photographed by Dorothea Lange, an American documentary photographer renowned for her powerful images of the era, this snapshot serves as a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of drought and economic hardship on working-class families. The Dust Bowl had ravaged Oklahoma, forcing thousands to migrate westward in search of better opportunities. These young boys and girls became known as 'Okies', seeking refuge in California's migrant camps like this one depicted here. Lange's lens captures both hope and despair etched on their faces - symbols of innocence lost too soon. The photograph stands as a testament to the human spirit's ability to endure even under dire circumstances. This image is part of Lange's work commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) during President Roosevelt's New Deal program. It aimed to document rural America and raise awareness about poverty-stricken communities across the nation. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, let us remember those who persevered through unimaginable challenges while reminding ourselves that compassion and empathy can make a difference even today.
