EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, depicts a significant moment in American history. The image showcases migratory workers at a Farm Security Administration (FSA) labor camp during the pea harvest in Calipatria, Imperial County. In this thought-provoking scene, we witness a group of displaced individuals scanning the bulletin board at the entrance of their temporary home. A tent serves as an office for important announcements and information dissemination. These hardworking agricultural workers are seeking employment opportunities amidst the economic turmoil of the Great Depression. Lange's powerful composition captures not only the physical displacement but also conveys a sense of emotional displacement experienced by these forced migrants. Their faces reflect resilience and determination despite their challenging circumstances. Through her lens, Lange sheds light on the plight of farmworkers during this era, highlighting their vital role in sustaining America's agricultural industry. This photograph stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw human emotions while documenting historical moments with great sensitivity. Preserved within the Congressional Library archives, this image continues to serve as an enduring reminder of our country's past struggles and serves as an inspiration for future generations to strive towards social justice and equality.
