EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hoers, Aldridge Plantation, 1937," captures a poignant moment in American history during the Great Depression. Taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange, the image depicts a crew of approximately 200 agricultural workers, primarily ex-tenant farmers, hoeing cotton in the fields of Aldridge Plantation in Mississippi, United States. The photograph is a stark reminder of the economic hardships and exploitation faced by many during this period. The image was captured during a time when the agricultural sector was struggling, and employment opportunities were scarce. Many farmers, unable to make ends meet, were forced to seek work as farm laborers, often for meager wages. In this photograph, the workers are seen hoeing in the hot sun, their faces etched with fatigue and determination. The fields stretch out before them, a seemingly endless expanse of cotton that demands their labor for a mere dollar a day. The photograph was taken during a time when various government agencies, including the Farm Security Administration (FSA), were working to provide relief to those affected by the Great Depression. However, the situation for many farm laborers remained dire. The Office of War Information (OWI) later used this image as part of their efforts to raise awareness of the plight of the American people during this time. The image is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the harsh realities of poverty and exploitation during the Great Depression. Dorothea Lange's photograph is an important piece of American heritage and a reminder of a time in our history that should never be forgotten.
