DROUGHT REFUGEE, 1936. Oklahoma drought refugees in Blythe, California
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant photograph captures the harsh reality of the Great Depression era in America. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, it depicts a group of Oklahoma drought refugees who have sought shelter in Blythe, California. The image showcases a family huddled together outside their makeshift camp, surrounded by barren landscapes that reflect the devastating effects of the Dust Bowl and prolonged drought. A weary-looking father stands tall beside his wife and baby boy while a group of unidentified men and women gather nearby. The mother tenderly breastfeeds her infant son, embodying both love and resilience amidst their struggle for survival. Their faces reveal disappointment and sadness as they confront the hardships imposed upon them by poverty and displacement. Lange's photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the desperation faced by working-class families during this period. It also highlights the efforts made by government initiatives like the Farm Security Administration (FSA) under President Roosevelt's New Deal to provide assistance to those affected. As we gaze at this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how far society has come since then but also how important it is to remember our past struggles. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to connect with these forgotten voices from an earlier era - reminding us never to take our present circumstances for granted.
