EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures the desperate reality of a migrant family from Chickasaw, Oklahoma, stranded in the arid Southern California desert with no money and their car broken down. The Great Depression had forced them to leave their homes in search of work and a better future. With ten children in tow, their faces etched with worry and exhaustion, they now faced an uncertain future in an unfamiliar land. The image is a poignant reminder of the agricultural workers and their families who were displaced during this period, uprooted from their communities and forced to travel long distances in search of employment. The family's worn-out automobile, a symbol of their dreams of mobility and a better life, now lay abandoned in the desert, a stark reminder of the harsh economic realities of the time. Lange, a pioneer in documenting the human condition during the Great Depression, captured this moment with sensitivity and empathy, using her camera to shed light on the plight of the displaced and the forgotten. This powerful image, now part of the collections of the U.S. Library of Congress, stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
