MIGRANT WORKERS, 1938 - Capturing the Struggles and Resilience of African American Laborers during the Great Depression
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print by Dorothea Lange, taken in June 1938, transports us back to a time when hope hung on a fragile thread for two African American migrant cotton choppers in Memphis, Tennessee. Standing tall amidst the scorching summer heat, these men embody both the determination to secure plantation work and the harsh reality of poverty that plagued many working-class individuals during this era. Lange's lens captures not just their physical presence but also their unyielding spirit. Their weathered faces tell stories of countless hours spent under unforgiving suns and backs bent low from years of arduous labor. In their eyes lies an unwavering resolve to overcome adversity despite facing economic failure as a result of the Great Depression. As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal initiatives, these workers were among thousands who sought employment opportunities across the Southeastern United States. They represent a generation caught between aspirations for better lives and systemic inequalities that perpetuated their struggles. In this photograph, we witness history frozen in time – a testament to human resilience amid dire circumstances. It serves as a reminder that behind every statistic or policy decision are real people with dreams deferred but never extinguished. The Granger Collection allows us access to such powerful images that shed light on forgotten narratives from our past.
