EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captured by Dorothea Lange in 1938 along US 99 in California depicts the harsh reality of three families who have been displaced and are in desperate need of work during the Great Depression. The families are seen camped behind a billboard, which serves as a partial windbreak, highlighting their vulnerability and struggle for survival.
The advertisement on the billboard ironically suggests taking the train for travel while you sleep, emphasizing the contrast between those who can afford leisurely travel and those who are forced to live on the roadside due to economic hardship. The photograph conveys a sense of bleakness and despair, reflecting the challenging times faced by many Americans during this era.
Dorothea Lange's poignant portrayal of these families sheds light on the widespread homelessness and displacement that characterized the 1930s. Her work for the Farm Security Administration documented the human impact of economic downturns and continues to serve as a reminder of our shared history.
As we reflect on this image, let us remember those who struggled through difficult times and strive to create a more just society where all individuals have access to basic necessities such as shelter, food, and employment.
