EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Farm Family, 1939" captures a poignant moment in the lives of an American family during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in August 1939, this image showcases the resilience and determination of rural families during challenging times. In this snapshot, we see a family gathered together in Thurston County, Michigan Hill, Washington State. The children can be seen diligently working alongside their parents to clear debris from the field. With bare hands and determined expressions on their faces, they gather roots and chunks of wood to create a stump pile for burning. The young boy stands tall beside his brother while their sister assists their mother with this laborious task. Their hard work is not only essential for maintaining the farm but also serves as a symbol of hope amidst poverty and hardship. Lange's lens beautifully captures the essence of daily life on a farm during that era - capturing both struggle and unity within one frame. This photograph is part of Lange's documentation project commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal program. As viewers gaze upon this powerful image, they are transported back to an early summer day in 1939 when hardworking families like these persevered through adversity with unwavering strength and determination.
