EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "COTTON PICKERS, 1937" transports us back to a significant era in American history. Taken by the renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in June 1937, this image captures a group of African American cotton hoers in Memphis, Tennessee. They are seen preparing to depart for their day's work in Arkansas. The Great Depression had cast its shadow over the nation during this time, and rural communities were particularly affected. The Farm Security Administration (FSA) was established as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program to provide assistance to struggling farmers and workers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by those living through these difficult times. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness men loading themselves onto an old pick-up truck that will transport them from Memphis to their destination. Poverty is evident on their faces and within the worn-out clothes they wear. These migrant workers represent the working class who relied on agriculture for survival. Dorothea Lange's talent lies not only in capturing moments but also conveying emotions through her lens. With this powerful image, she immortalizes the resilience and determination exhibited by these individuals amidst adversity. As we gaze at this historical print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of both the hardships endured during that era and our collective responsibility to ensure such struggles do not befall future generations again.
