California Destitute Pickers Thirty Nipomo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, titled "Migrant Mother," captures the haunting image of a mother's resilience and determination in the face of extreme poverty and hardship. Taken in 1936 by renowned Depression-era photographer Dorothea Lange, the image depicts Florence Thompson, a thirty-two-year-old mother of seven children, in Nipomo, California. The photograph shows Thompson with three of her children, her face etched with worry and exhaustion, as they huddle together amidst the desolate landscape of a pea field. The Great Depression had left countless families, like the Thompsons, destitute and desperate for work. Migrant laborers, such as the Thompsons, traveled from place to place in search of seasonal agricultural work, often living in makeshift camps and enduring harsh conditions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by millions of Americans during this time. Despite the hardships, Thompson's unwavering gaze and the protective embrace of her children convey a sense of hope and strength. The photograph became an iconic symbol of the Depression era and a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure even in the most difficult of circumstances.
