EDITORS COMMENTS
This compelling photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, tells a poignant story of resilience and determination. The image portrays a family from Arkansas who had managed to save one thousand dollars and embarked on a new life in California with eleven children in tow. They purchased a forty-acre piece of land in Tulare County, California, with the hope of starting a farm. The family's modest dwelling and large vegetable garden are evidence of their hard work and dedication. With the assistance of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), they were able to secure a loan that bought them dairy cows, an irrigation plant, and seed for their irrigated pasture lands. The family's debt from the FSA loan still stood at one thousand dollars, a testament to the challenges they faced in their new endeavor. The photograph captures the essence of rural life during the Great Depression and the New Deal era. Dorothea Lange, a pioneer in documenting the human condition during this period, expertly captured the family's determination to build a better future for themselves. The image is a powerful reminder of the struggles and triumphs of rural America during this time, and a testament to the enduring spirit of those who sought to overcome adversity through hard work and perseverance.
