FLOOD REFUGEES, 1937 - A Glimpse into the Resilience of a Mother and Child
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the heart-wrenching reality faced by flood refugees in 1937 near Memphis, Texas. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in May of that year, it showcases the strength and determination of a mother and her child amidst their struggle for survival. In this image, we see a woman dressed humbly yet with dignity, holding her baby close to her chest. The child wears a bonnet that shields them from the harsh elements they have been forced to endure. Their worn faces tell tales of hardship and uncertainty as they navigate life as part of the working-class poor during this challenging time. Lange's lens expertly captures not only their physical appearance but also their resilience in the face of adversity. Despite being labeled as "refugees" these individuals refuse to be defined solely by their circumstances; instead, they embody hope for a better future. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, let us remember those who came before us - ordinary people whose stories often go untold. This photograph serves as an important reminder that even in times of great distress, humanity prevails through love, strength, and unwavering determination.
