EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, depicts two families, totaling fifteen individuals, huddled together by the roadside near Santa Maria, California. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the Great Depression, a time of widespread economic hardship and displacement in the United States. The families, originally from Chickasaw, Oklahoma, were en route to the pea harvest but were stalled due to their inability to afford the trailer's license required to continue their journey. The image encapsulates the harsh realities of the era, with the families' meager possessions scattered around them and the desolate landscape stretching out in the background. The photograph, titled "Two families, fifteen people, from Chickasaw, Oklahoma, camped by the roadside near Santa Maria, California," is a poignant reminder of the forced migration and displacement that characterized the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured this powerful moment as part of her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI). Her unflinching portrayal of the human condition during this tumultuous period continues to resonate with audiences today. This image, a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, is now part of the rich heritage of American photography and serves as a powerful reminder of a pivotal moment in our nation's history.
