EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Migrant Worker, 1935" captures the harsh reality of a migrant worker's life during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, this image showcases a man walking along a desolate California highway. The man in the photo represents the countless individuals who were forced to leave their homes in search of work and survival during this tumultuous era. With his worn-out hat and sack slung over his shoulder, he epitomizes resilience amidst adversity. His face tells stories of hardship and struggle as he navigates through an uncertain future. Lange's composition highlights the vastness of rural America with its dirt road stretching into infinity. The absence of any other human presence emphasizes both isolation and determination. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of despair, there is still hope for a better tomorrow. As part of Lange's documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this image sheds light on one aspect of President Roosevelt's New Deal policies aimed at providing relief to those affected by economic downturns. It serves as an important historical artifact that immortalizes not only the hardships faced by migrant workers but also their unwavering spirit. "Migrant Worker, 1935" stands as a testament to Dorothea Lange's ability to capture raw emotion within her subjects while simultaneously shedding light on significant social issues.
