EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the heart of Granville County, North Carolina. In the scorching noon sun, a son and his young grandson diligently lead a pair of mules towards water. The image beautifully captures the essence of rural America during the Great Depression. Dressed in simple clothing that reflects their humble lifestyle, these boys epitomize resilience and hard work. With a bucket in hand, they navigate through vast fields of crops as part of their daily farming duties. Their hats shield them from the unforgiving sun as they carry out their important task. Lange's lens not only documents this moment but also tells a larger story about American history. This photograph is an invaluable piece from her extensive collection for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by tenant farmers during this challenging era. As we gaze at this powerful image, we are reminded of the economic hardships endured by families across America at that time. It serves as a testament to their determination and perseverance amidst adversity. Preserved within this print is not just an ordinary snapshot but rather a window into our past—a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and the indomitable spirit that defines us as Americans.
