EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MIGRANT CAMP, 1939" transports us back to a significant era in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in September 1939, it portrays a camp situated in an open field on the outskirts of Marlin, Klamath County, Oregon. The image captures the harsh realities faced by migrant workers during the Great Depression. In this rural setting, we witness a glimpse into their daily lives as they struggle to make ends meet. The campfire at its center serves not only as a source of warmth but also as a gathering place for these hardworking individuals who seek solace and companionship amidst their shared hardships. Lange's composition skillfully highlights the makeshift shelters constructed from tents and other available materials. These humble dwellings symbolize both resilience and poverty within this working-class community. A washbin and washboard nearby remind us of their constant battle against dirt and grime while striving to maintain some semblance of cleanliness. As we delve deeper into this powerful image, we are reminded of the New Deal policies implemented during this time period aimed at providing relief for those affected by economic hardship. Lange's work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) shed light on these marginalized communities across America. "MIGRANT CAMP, 1939" is not just a photograph; it is an evocative window into our collective past—a reminder that even in times of adversity, human spirit endures
