EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Possibly: Services are over, Wheeleys Church, Gordonton, Person County, North Carolina, 1939" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era, this image showcases her remarkable ability to convey both emotion and storytelling through her lens. In the foreground of the photograph stands a young boy wearing bib overalls and leaning on crutches for support. His presence symbolizes resilience amidst adversity as he navigates life with physical challenges. Surrounding him are other children dressed in simple clothing that reflects their rural upbringing. The backdrop of Wheeleys Church adds an element of spirituality to the scene. The clapboard exterior represents a place where faith is sought during difficult times. Lange's composition skillfully frames this slice of Americana against the countryside landscape of Gordonton in Person County. As part of Lange's iconic body of work commissioned by government agencies such as Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), this photograph serves as a powerful testament to the economic hardships faced by many Americans during that era. It encapsulates not only their struggles but also their unwavering spirit and determination. Preserved within the Library of Congress archives, this heritage art piece continues to remind us about our shared history while honoring Dorothea Lange's contribution to photography as an art form.
