EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to Squaw Creek Valley in Ola, Gem County, Idaho. The image showcases a group of hardworking farmers making their way into town to exercise their right to vote. In this snapshot of rural America during the Great Depression era, we witness the resilience and determination of these voting farmers. With a population of only about 30 people, Squaw Creek Valley was home to approximately 185 voting farmers who formed an inspiring self-help co-op known as Ola. This cooperative spirit is evident not just within the farming community but also extends to the charming countryside landscape surrounding them. Lange's masterful composition captures both the beauty and simplicity of this rural setting. A dirt road leads our gaze towards a small church nestled among fields and farmland. The worn fence lining the road serves as a reminder of both physical boundaries and shared struggles faced by these resilient individuals. Through her lens, Lange reveals not just a moment frozen in time but also provides us with insight into American history during one of its most challenging periods - the Great Depression. This photograph stands as a testament to human perseverance amidst adversity and highlights how unity can be found even in times of hardship. As we reflect on this powerful image captured by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), it reminds us that every vote counts regardless of one's occupation or social status.
