EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Labor Temple, Tucson, Arizona," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937. The image is a testament to the economic struggles of the Great Depression era in the United States, specifically in Tucson, Arizona. The Labor Temple building, located in the heart of the city, stands as a symbol of resilience and community during these challenging times. Dorothea Lange, a key documenter of the Great Depression through her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and later the Office of War Information (OWI), captured this image using a nitrate negative. The exterior of the Labor Temple is shown in all its modern, yet traditional, glory. The building's simple, boxy design is adorned with the words "Labor Temple" and "CIO" (Congress of Industrial Organizations), reflecting the labor union movement that was prevalent during this period. The photograph also reveals a glimpse of the activities that took place within the Labor Temple. Two men, dressed in work clothes, can be seen outside, engaged in a wrestling match. The image of men wrestling could symbolize the struggle and competition for jobs during the Depression, as well as the camaraderie and community that formed among workers during this time. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic challenges faced by Americans during the Great Depression, and the importance of unity and perseverance in the face of adversity. Dorothea Lange's "Labor Temple, Tucson, Arizona" is a valuable piece of American heritage art that continues to inspire and inform us about our past.
