EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Street scene. Macon, Georgia. [Woman wearing broken shoes]," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image is a poignant depiction of the harsh realities of the Great Depression, particularly for African Americans living in the rural South. The photograph shows a woman, dressed in tattered clothing and wearing broken carriage boots, standing on the side of a dusty road. Her expression is one of resignation and weariness, reflecting the economic hardships and poverty that were prevalent during this period. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency that aimed to provide relief to rural communities affected by the Depression. Lange's work for the FSA is renowned for her evocative portrayals of the human condition during this difficult time. This image, in particular, is a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by many Americans during the 1930s. The photograph was taken in Macon, Georgia, and is part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at the Library of Congress. It is a significant historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the experiences of marginalized communities during a time of great economic upheaval. The image is also a testament to Lange's skill as a photographer, her ability to capture the human spirit and the resilience of the human condition, even in the face of adversity.
