EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Dorothea Lange takes us back to the heart of America's Great Depression in 1939. The image captures a labor contractor's truck, adorned with a sign proudly displaying "J. E. McDonald & Charlie Green - Licensed Farm Labor Contractors" as it pulls up for gas in Westley, California. Surrounding the truck is a gang of African American pea pickers who have been recruited from Stockton, located thirty-one miles away. The composition evokes a sense of resilience and determination amidst economic hardship. The men stand tall, their faces weathered by years of hard work under the scorching sun. They represent the backbone of agricultural labor during this challenging era. Lange's lens transports us to an important chapter in American history when farming was not only an occupation but also a means for survival. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense struggles faced by these farm workers and their significant contributions to our nation's economy. Dorothea Lange, renowned for her powerful documentary photography during this period, skillfully captures both the physicality and spirit of these individuals through her lens. This print serves as a poignant reminder that behind every historical event lies countless untold stories waiting to be discovered and remembered.
