MIGRANT CAMP, 1939 - A Glimpse into Hope Amidst Hardship
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a newly completed migrant worker camp in Yamhill County, Oregon during the year 1939. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange under the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of those affected by the Great Depression. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary effort to provide basic amenities for these hardworking individuals who were struggling to make ends meet. The camp showcases remarkable features such as street lights illuminating their path after dusk, well-maintained curbing along its streets, and even a garbage disposal area ensuring cleanliness within their community. At the end of this humble street stands a manager's house - perhaps serving as both a symbol of authority and refuge for those seeking assistance or guidance. Adjacent to it proudly stands a water tank that provided vital resources to sustain life amidst challenging circumstances. The presence of powerlines stretching across the sky reminds us that despite their impoverished state, these resilient workers were not forgotten; they were part of America's New Deal initiatives aimed at providing relief during times of crisis. Through Lange's lens, we are reminded of the strength and determination exhibited by rural communities during one of history's darkest periods. This photograph serves as an enduring testament to human resilience and solidarity in times when hope seemed scarce.
