Once a Missouri Farmer, Now a Migratory Farm Laborer on the Pacific Coast, California, 1936
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an iconic photograph taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange. The image captures the stark reality of the Great Depression era in the United States, specifically the plight of displaced farmers who were forced to become migratory farm laborers in California. The photograph features a man, identified as Lee Russell, sitting in the driver's seat of an old car, looking weary and defeated. His worn clothes, the dusty road behind him, and the desolate landscape surrounding him all speak to the hardships he and countless others faced during this period. The car, a symbol of the American dream and mobility, now serves as a means of transportation for this displaced farmer as he travels from one farm job to another in search of work. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Great Depression. Lange's work for the FSA documented the harsh realities of rural poverty and displacement, and her images became a powerful visual record of this period in American history. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of economic downturns and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the dignity of the displaced farmer, who despite his circumstances, retains his sense of self-worth and determination. The image continues to resonate with audiences today, serving as a reminder of the importance of social safety nets and the need to address the root causes of poverty and economic inequality.
