Lived Living Migratory Rambler Washington Years Yakima
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the daily life of a migratory family residing in Ramblers Park, Yakima Valley, Washington, during the summer of 1939. The nine children, ranging in age from toddlers to teenagers, have been living on the road for the past three years, following the harvest seasons to work in various agricultural jobs. Their temporary home in Ramblers Park, a community of migrant workers, provides them with a brief respite from the constant travel. The American landscape behind them serves as a stark reminder of the transient nature of their existence. The worn-out car, which has become their constant companion, is a testament to their perseverance and resilience. The children, dressed in simple clothing, appear to be engaged in a lighthearted moment, playing with a ball, despite the hardships they have faced. Migratory families like this one were a common sight in rural America during the Great Depression. The Dust Bowl and the economic downturn forced many families to abandon their farms and seek work in other areas, leading to a significant increase in migrant labor. The conditions these families faced were often harsh, with inadequate housing, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate education for their children. Despite these challenges, the children in this photograph radiate a sense of hope and determination. Their story is a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit, and the importance of providing support and resources to those in need.
