EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures a poignant moment in American history - the struggles of migrant workers during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in June 1935, this image showcases Filipino migrant workers cutting lettuce on a farm in Salinas, California. In this snapshot, we witness the harsh reality faced by these hardworking individuals as they toil under the scorching summer sun. Their faces etched with determination and resilience, these men embody the spirit of perseverance amidst adversity. The field stretches out before them, filled with rows upon rows of vibrant green lettuce waiting to be harvested. Lange's lens exposes not only their physical labor but also their economic plight. These workers were part of a larger group affected by poverty and unemployment during one of America's darkest times. As part of President Roosevelt's New Deal initiative, which aimed to alleviate suffering caused by the Great Depression, many found employment through government-sponsored programs like Farm Security Administration (FSA). This photograph serves as a reminder that behind every crop we consume lies countless hours of backbreaking work performed by those often forgotten or overlooked - the working class who sustain our society from its very roots. It is an homage to their sacrifice and dedication. As we gaze at this historical print from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done towards ensuring fair treatment and opportunities for all members of our society.
