Watching ball game, Shafter camp for migrants, California, 1938
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captured by Dorothea Lange in 1938 showcases a moment of respite amidst the hardships faced by migrant workers during the Great Depression. The image depicts a group of men gathered together to watch a ball game at the Shafter camp in California. Dressed in their humble bib overalls and cowboy hats, these individuals find solace and camaraderie through this simple leisure activity. Their worn clothing reflects the economic struggles they endured as they were forced to migrate in search of work and better opportunities. Lange's lens captures not only their physical displacement but also hints at the emotional displacement experienced by these men. Through her powerful composition, she invites us to reflect on the human impact of forced migration and economic recession. As part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under the Office of War Information (OWI), Lange documented scenes like this one with great empathy and sensitivity. Her photographs became iconic symbols that shed light on social issues during this tumultuous period in American history. Today, this image serves as a reminder of our shared heritage - an enduring testament to resilience in times of adversity. It stands as a tribute to those who persevered through challenging circumstances while seeking hope and connection within their community.
