EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Street meeting at night in Mexican town outside of Shafter, California. Organizer for United Cannery Agricultural Packing and Allied Workers of America (Congress of Industrial Organizations-CIO) talks to mixed crowd," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938. The image portrays a pivotal moment during the Great Depression era, as an organizer from the CIO addresses a diverse group of agricultural workers in a Mexican town outside of Shafter, California. The failed strike is a poignant reminder of the economic struggles and industrial relations issues that characterized the 1930s in America. Dorothea Lange, born Dorothea Margaretta Nutzhorn, was a pioneering figure in documentary photography, known for her evocative images that captured the human condition during times of hardship and adversity. This photograph, with its stark contrasts and powerful gestures, is a testament to her ability to convey the raw emotion and determination of the people she documented. 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 areas affected by the Great Depression. The image is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, and serves as a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in American history. The photograph shows a man, believed to be the CIO organizer, standing in the center of the crowd, gesturing animatedly as he speaks. The faces of the men, women, and children in the crowd are illuminated by the dim light of the street lamps, creating a sense of intimacy and urgency. The photograph captures the hope and determination of the workers, as they gather together in the face of adversity, seeking a better future for themselves and their families.
