EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, captures the harsh reality of life for migratory boys at an FSA camp in Farmersville, Tulare County. The image showcases a group of young boys seeking attention at the clinic run by the Agricultural Workers Health and Medical Association. In their worn-out bib overalls and caps, these children represent the face of child labor during America's Great Depression era. Their bodies bear bandages as evidence of the physical toll that agricultural work has taken on them. Despite their hardships, they display resilience and strength beyond their years. Lange's composition draws attention to each boy's individuality while highlighting the collective struggle faced by these farm workers' families. Through her lens, she exposes not only their economic challenges but also sheds light on issues surrounding healthcare access for marginalized communities. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of a time when industrial accidents were common occurrences within this industry. It invites viewers to reflect upon societal inequalities and raises questions about our responsibility towards those who contribute to our nation's agricultural prosperity. Dorothea Lange's work continues to be celebrated as an important contribution to American documentary photography. This particular print is housed in the Congressional Library collection and stands as a testament to Lange's commitment to capturing human stories with empathy and compassion during one of America's most challenging periods - The Great Depression.
