EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us back to a simpler time in Yakima, Washington. The image showcases Crossroads grocery store and filling station, a quintessential representation of the small enterprises that thrived within this new community. Lange's lens captures the essence of rural life during the Great Depression era. As we gaze upon this still image, we are reminded of the economic hardships faced by many Americans at that time. The rustic exterior of the building stands as a testament to resilience and resourcefulness amidst poverty. Sumac Park serves as an idyllic backdrop for this snapshot of history. Located in the countryside, it epitomizes regionalism and offers a glimpse into country living during this period. The gas station itself symbolizes hope for those seeking fuel not only for their vehicles but also for their dreams. Through her work with Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Lange masterfully captured poignant images that shed light on social issues plaguing America during these challenging times. This particular photograph is part of her extensive body of work housed at the Library of Congress. As we admire Lange's artistry through Heritage Images' print, let us reflect on how far our society has come since then while recognizing that there is still much progress to be made in ensuring economic stability and equality for all.
