EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases all the members of the congregation at Friends Church (Quaker) in Dead Ox Flat, Oregon. The image transports us back to a simpler time, amidst the backdrop of America's Great Depression. The photograph exudes a sense of unity and faith as men, women, and children gather together inside the church's basement. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era - simple yet elegant attire worn with pride. Each individual carries their own unique story within their eyes; some filled with hope while others bear the weight of economic hardship. Lange's composition skillfully captures both young boys and girls standing side by side, symbolizing innocence and resilience amid challenging times. The location itself adds an intriguing element to this piece - Dead Ox Flat in Malheur County is nestled within Oregon's picturesque countryside. As we delve into this remarkable image from Lange's collection commissioned by Farm Security Administration (FSA), it becomes evident that her lens not only documented history but also conveyed deep empathy for her subjects. This particular photo serves as a testament to Lange's ability to capture human emotion through her lens. Preserved within the archives of Library of Congress' Congressional Library, this heritage artwork continues to inspire viewers today. It reminds us of our shared humanity during times when faith served as an anchor amidst adversity.
