MEMPHIS - UNEMPLOYED, 1938 - A Glimpse into the Struggles of the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in American history during the height of the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in June 1938, it showcases a daily lineup of unemployed men patiently waiting outside the office of the State Employment Service in Memphis, Tennessee. The image offers an aerial view that reveals a diverse group of African American men dressed in worn-out clothing and overalls. They are seated along a cobblestone sidewalk, their faces reflecting both hope and despair as they seek employment opportunities amidst economic turmoil. The composition also highlights elements such as an old fence surrounding the office building and an early model automobile parked nearby. These details serve as reminders of how government agencies like FSA (Farm Security Administration) played crucial roles during this era by providing support to those affected by unemployment and poverty. Through Lange's lens, we witness not only individual struggles but also gain insight into larger societal issues faced by working-class Americans during this challenging period. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of human resilience amidst adversity while shedding light on one chapter within The Granger Collection's Carousel collection. As we reflect upon this historical snapshot, let us remember those who endured hardships during these trying times and honor their strength and determination to rebuild their lives despite overwhelming obstacles.
