EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, portrays a group of Mexican field laborers on strike during the cotton picking season in Bakersfield, California. The image is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection, housed in the Library of Congress. During the Great Depression, agricultural laborers, including many Mexicans, faced harsh working conditions and meager wages. In response to these challenges, labor unions organized strikes and protests to demand better compensation and working conditions. The photograph shows the determination and resilience of these men, who have come together to assert their rights and apply for relief from the FSA. The scene is set against a backdrop of a weathered, red-brick building, which may have served as a temporary shelter or relief center for the strikers. The men, dressed in worn clothing and hats, stand in a line, their faces expressing a range of emotions from hope to frustration. Some hold signs bearing messages of solidarity and demands for fair treatment. This powerful image not only captures the economic struggles of the time but also highlights the importance of collective action and the role of government in addressing the needs of marginalized communities. It is a poignant reminder of the past and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who fought for a better future.
