EDITORS COMMENTS
Part of Family Arrived the Night Before: A poignant snapshot of displacement and resilience during the Great Depression, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939. In this black-and-white image, a mother tenderly breastfeeds her infant daughter as her husband and other family members make camp near the Holtville area in Imperial Valley, California. The family had traveled across the country from Rockwell, Texas, seeking better opportunities during the Great Depression. Their journey was marked by hardships and displacement, as they joined the ranks of the millions of Americans forced to leave their homes in search of work and sustenance. The image, titled "Part of Family Arrived the Night Before," is a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and adapt in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this moment as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration and later the Office of War Information. The image is a testament to the struggles and triumphs of the displaced during this period, and continues to resonate with audiences today as a powerful symbol of the human condition.
