EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Peach Picker's Home, near Muscella, Georgia," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of African American agricultural workers during the Great Depression. The scene portrays a humble, weathered cabin nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery of the countryside. The home, a simple shelter from the elements, stands as a testament to the hardships faced by those who labored long hours in the fields to put food on the table. Lange's poignant caption, "They don't lay nothing by for food. The biggest what they do when they git a little money is chung it over to automobiles," underscores the stark reality of economic struggle. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by farm laborers during this period, who often lived hand to mouth and had little to save for the future. The photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's extensive body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Great Depression. Lange's evocative imagery brought attention to the plight of America's agricultural workers, helping to galvanize public support for social and economic reforms. This haunting image, with its rich historical context, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.
