In a Carrot Pickers Camp, Imperial Valley, California, 1939
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Dorothea Lange captures the essence of life in an agricultural camp during the Great Depression. The image showcases a woman from Broken Bow, Oklahoma, who exudes resilience and determination despite her circumstances. In this poignant moment frozen in time, we see the woman preparing herself before having her picture taken. With a comb in hand and a determined expression on her face, she symbolizes the strength and pride of those facing adversity during one of America's darkest periods. The setting is an encampment for carrot pickers in Imperial Valley, California - a place that became both refuge and struggle for many displaced individuals seeking work opportunities. Lange's lens beautifully captures not only the physical surroundings but also the emotional weight carried by these farmworkers. Through this photograph, Lange sheds light on the economic hardships faced by countless Americans during this era. Her work with the Farm Security Administration aimed to document their stories while advocating for social change. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and challenges us to reflect on how far we have come since then. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and continues to inspire generations with its timeless message.
