EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Home of a Family of Native Californians, Migratory Workers. Near Porterville, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image is a poignant depiction of the harsh realities faced by many families during this period of economic hardship in the United States. The photograph shows a makeshift home, nestled amidst a barren landscape. A worn-out tent serves as the family's shelter, with a washtub acting as a makeshift bathtub and a few meager possessions scattered around. The family, likely migratory workers, appear to be of Native Californian descent, adding another layer of complexity to their story. 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. Lange, known for her empathetic and humanizing approach to documentary photography, captured this image as part of the FSA's efforts to bring attention to the plight of the displaced and impoverished. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by many during the Great Depression and the importance of social safety nets during times of economic hardship. Today, it serves as an important historical artifact, preserved in the Library of Congress and offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history.
