EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1939 showcases partially completed homes for agricultural workers in Farmersville, California. The image depicts a row of modest houses that were built to provide permanent settlement options for these workers. Renting at the affordable price of eight dollars and twenty cents per month, these homes included essential utilities such as water and electricity. Located adjacent to a migratory labor camp, this tract aimed to offer stability and refuge for those affected by the Great Depression. Lange's lens captures not only the buildings themselves but also an automobile parked nearby, symbolizing mobility and perhaps hinting at the journey many of these migrants had undertaken. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the economic hardships faced during this era. Lange was renowned for her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documenting rural poverty caused by displacement and forced migration. Through her lens, she highlighted both personal stories and broader social issues associated with housing insecurity. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this image stands as a testament to Lange's dedication to capturing America's history during one of its most challenging times. It is an enduring piece that reflects on themes such as resilience, community support, and human determination in overcoming adversity.
