EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "COTTON PICKER, 1937" captures a poignant moment in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in July 1937, the image showcases an adolescent migrant boy from Macon County, Georgia. The young boy stands amidst a cotton field with a sack slung over his shoulder, but it is not filled with cotton as one might expect. Instead, it contains boll weevils – destructive pests that he diligently picked off the cotton plants. The photo reflects the harsh realities of life during the Great Depression era when poverty and hardship were widespread. The boy's worn denim overalls and bare torso reveal his humble background as he toils under the scorching summer sun. His hand pulling at a boll weevil exemplifies both his resourcefulness and determination to make ends meet. Lange's lens captured this scene as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documenting rural life during this challenging time in America's history. Through her photographs, she aimed to shed light on social issues and advocate for change. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the resilience exhibited by working-class Americans during times of adversity while also highlighting their struggles and hardships. It stands as a testament to both human perseverance and Dorothea Lange's ability to capture raw emotion through her lens.
