EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Meeting opens with taking the collection" captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, takes us back to a significant moment in San Francisco's history. The image showcases a Salvation Army meeting where attendees are generously contributing to the collection plate. As the country was still grappling with the effects of the Great Depression, this act of charity and faith resonates deeply. Lange's composition skillfully portrays both men and women participating in this fundraising event. Their faces reflect determination and hope as they donate their hard-earned money towards a cause greater than themselves. The image serves as a reminder that even during times of economic hardship, communities come together to support one another. The photograph captures not only an important historical moment but also highlights Lange's exceptional talent for capturing raw emotions through her lens. Her work became iconic during this era, documenting the struggles faced by ordinary Americans while simultaneously celebrating their resilience. Preserved within the Library of Congress' Congressional Library archives, this photograph stands as a testament to Lange's contribution to American photography and her ability to capture powerful moments that transcend time. It serves as an enduring symbol of compassion, unity, and unwavering faith amidst challenging circumstances – values that continue to inspire us today.
