EDITORS COMMENTS
POVERTY: GIRL, 1936. A haunting glimpse into the harsh realities of life during the Great Depression, this poignant photograph captures the innocence and resilience of a young girl living in a shantytown for migrant workers in Elm Grove, Oklahoma. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in August 1936 as part of her iconic Farm Security Administration (FSA) project, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by countless families during this tumultuous era. In sepia tones that evoke a sense of nostalgia and hardship, we see an adolescent girl standing outside her humble dwelling made from tin and scraps. Her clothes are worn and dirty, reflecting both poverty and hard work. Despite these challenging circumstances, her face radiates determination and strength beyond her years. Lange's lens captures not only the individual story of this unidentified girl but also symbolizes the larger narrative of rural America grappling with economic devastation. This photograph stands as a testament to Lange's commitment to documenting social issues through photography during a time when visual storytelling was instrumental in shaping public opinion. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a stark reminder that poverty knows no boundaries or time periods. It compels us to reflect on our collective responsibility to address inequality and uplift those who continue to face adversity.
