Migrant Family, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. In this powerful photograph by Dorothea Lange, we see a family of migrant workers from Phoenix, Arizona, embarking on a long and arduous journey along U. S. Highway 99 towards San Diego, California. The image portrays the harsh realities faced by countless families during this era of economic turmoil. The mother walks ahead with determination etched on her face, carrying her toddler in one arm while clutching onto their meager belongings with the other. Her worn-out coat serves as protection against the biting cold winds that whip through the desolate dirt road they traverse. Walking alongside them is their young daughter, her innocent eyes reflecting both resilience and uncertainty. The destitution and poverty experienced by these hardworking farmers are evident in every line etched upon their faces. This photograph not only documents an individual family's struggle but also symbolizes the larger story of migration and displacement that characterized America at that time. It stands as a testament to human strength amidst adversity and serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to address social inequalities. Dorothea Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal program aimed to shed light on such issues and bring about change through visual storytelling. "Migrant Family, 1939" remains an enduring representation of resilience in times of hardship – an image that continues to resonate today.
