EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Child of Texas Migrant Family Who Follow the Cotton Crop," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image poignantly depicts the harsh realities of displacement and poverty experienced by countless families during this period. The photograph captures a young girl, her bare feet caked with dust and dirt, standing beside an old automobile. Her expression is one of weariness and resignation, reflecting the hardships endured by her family as they traveled from place to place in search of work in the cotton industry. The family, like countless others, were forced to migrate due to the economic downturn and the devastating effects of the Depression on the agricultural sector. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Depression. Lange's work for the FSA, including this image, helped to bring national attention to the plight of migrant workers and the devastating impact of the Depression on rural America. The photograph is a poignant reminder of a difficult chapter in American history, one marked by displacement, poverty, and hardship. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the stories of our past.
