EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in American history - "MIGRANT WORKERS, 1939". In the backdrop of the Great Depression, we witness two young Mexican girls toiling away in Edinburg, Texas. The image is a testament to their resilience and determination as they pull and bunch carrots under the Texan sun. Photographed by Russell Lee in February 1939 as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the lives of migrant workers during this challenging era. Dressed in denim overalls and bonnets, these hardworking girls embody the working class spirit that defined America at that time. Their headscarves signify their Latin American heritage while also serving as protection from dust and dirt on this rural farm. As they labor together with other women amidst vast fields, it becomes evident how crucial their contribution was to sustaining agricultural production. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph symbolizes hope amidst adversity. It reminds us of the New Deal policies implemented during that period which aimed to alleviate poverty and provide employment opportunities for those affected by economic hardships. As we reflect upon this powerful image captured over eight decades ago, let us remember not only the struggles faced by these young workers but also recognize their invaluable role in shaping our nation's agricultural landscape.
