EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph captures the harsh reality faced by a family from Oklahoma during the cotton strike in 1939. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange near Shafter, California, this image portrays the struggles of agricultural workers in America during the Great Depression. The family, living in an old cow-barn, is seen picking cotton for a mere seventy-five cents per 100 pounds. Their worn-out faces reflect their exhaustion and despair as they toil under challenging conditions. The cardboard boxes scattered around them serve as a reminder of their meager existence and limited resources. Lange's lens focuses on the children within this impoverished household, emphasizing how even young ones were forced into labor at such an early age. This poignant portrayal highlights the economic hardships endured by farmworkers during that era. Commissioned by the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange's work aimed to document and raise awareness about social issues prevalent at that time. Her photographs became iconic symbols of resilience amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this haunting image captured almost a century ago, it serves as a testament to both human strength and vulnerability. It reminds us of our collective responsibility to strive for better living conditions and fair treatment for all members of society – ensuring that no family has to endure such hardships again.
