RAILROAD, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Lives of Itinerant Men in Kingsbury, California
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1937, amidst the Great Depression era. In Kingsbury, California, a group of itinerant men can be seen fearlessly riding outside a train hauling oil tanks. The image captures their resilience and resourcefulness as they navigate through challenging times. Photographed by Dorothea Lange in 1938, this powerful snapshot offers a window into the lives of these African American men during an uncertain period in American history. As they cling onto the sides of the boxcar, their determination is palpable - symbolizing both their struggle for survival and their relentless pursuit of better opportunities. The backdrop showcases an exterior view of California's vast landscape as the train journeys westward. This photograph not only documents transportation during that time but also sheds light on migration patterns and labor movements prevalent during those years. Through this lens, we are reminded of Lange's remarkable ability to capture raw emotions and tell stories through her lens. Her work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) documented various aspects of life during this tumultuous period. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Granger Art on Demand collection today, let us reflect upon our shared history and honor those who persevered against all odds – leaving an indelible mark on America's past while inspiring future generations towards progress and equality.
