EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "SCHOOL CHILDREN, 1939" captures a moment frozen in time. The image showcases a group of young girls from Lincoln Bench School engrossed in their reading lesson on the steps of their rural school in Malheur County, Oregon. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in October 1939, during the height of the Great Depression and the New Deal era, this picture beautifully encapsulates both hope and responsibility. The girls are seated attentively on the stairs leading to the entrance door of their grammar school. Their youthful faces reflect determination as they delve into their books with unwavering focus. This snapshot symbolizes not only early education but also resilience amidst challenging times. Lange's lens skillfully captures these adolescent pupils' thirst for knowledge and literacy against a backdrop of rural America. As part of Franklin D.

This print serves as a powerful reminder that education is an essential tool for progress even during difficult circumstances.
