Children of Migratory Pea Pickers - A Glimpse into the Hardships of 1930s America
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photo print, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, transports us to the Brawley camp in California. The image portrays a group of children who are descendants of migratory pea pickers during one of the darkest periods in American history - the Great Depression. Dressed in worn-out bib overalls and dungarees, these young boys and girls stand as symbols of resilience amidst economic turmoil. Their expressions reveal both innocence and maturity beyond their years, reflecting the weight they carry on their small shoulders. As we observe them closely, we can almost feel their displacement caused by forced migration due to dire circumstances. Lange's lens captures not only the physical toll but also highlights how clothing becomes a visual representation of social status during times of recession. These garments serve as reminders that even basic necessities were scarce for migrant families struggling to make ends meet. The photograph serves as an important historical document preserved within the Congressional Library's archives. It stands testament to Lange's dedication to capturing human suffering with empathy and compassion through her work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI). As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from our heritage art collection, let us remember those who endured unimaginable hardships during this era while finding strength within themselves and hope for a better future.
