EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the year 1939, capturing the interior of an eastern Oregon one-room county school. The image showcases a simple yet profound scene that tells a story of American heritage and education during a challenging time in history. In this humble classroom, we see seven pupils enrolled, ready for another day of learning. The photograph highlights not only their presence but also the essential elements that shaped their educational experience. A stove stands prominently in the corner, providing warmth on cold mornings while symbolizing resilience and resourcefulness. The walls are adorned with portraits of two iconic figures: George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. These images serve as constant reminders of America's past leaders who played significant roles in shaping the nation's values and ideals. Dorothea Lange masterfully captures the essence of this moment, showcasing how education was cherished even amidst economic hardships during the Great Depression era. Through her lens, she immortalizes this snapshot in time – a testament to both perseverance and hope. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and the importance of education in building strong communities. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still much work to be done to ensure equal access to quality education for all.
