EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases a Native woman from North Carolina. The subject is elegantly dressed in traditional attire, wearing a sunbonnet and homemade old-fashioned knit gloves. She proudly represents her heritage as a member of the Wheeley Church congregation near Gordonton. Lange's lens captures not only the woman's striking appearance but also the essence of rural America during the Great Depression era. The image reflects the hardships faced by many during this time, as evidenced by the somber expression on her face. Her clothing serves as a testament to resourcefulness and resilience amidst economic challenges. The composition transports us to an outdoor setting, most likely within her local community. Surrounded by nature's beauty and simplicity, she stands against an unassuming backdrop that emphasizes her individuality while highlighting her connection to both country living and Christianity. Dorothea Lange was known for capturing powerful images that shed light on social issues prevalent in American society. This particular photograph is no exception; it offers viewers a glimpse into history through its portrayal of indigenous culture and personal style. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, this print serves as a reminder of our nation's diverse heritage and pays tribute to those who endured challenging times with grace and strength.
