EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captured by Dorothea Lange in 1937 showcases a family camped on U.S. Highway 63 in Cache County, Oklahoma during the Great Depression. The photograph depicts a poignant scene of displacement and poverty, as the family is forced to live roadside due to economic hardships.
Lange's work for the Farm Security Administration documented the struggles of Americans during this tumultuous time in history, shedding light on the harsh realities faced by many families across the country. Her photographs serve as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who endured such challenging circumstances.
The composition of this image conveys a sense of isolation and vulnerability, with the open road stretching out behind them symbolizing an uncertain future. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the scene, emphasizing the hardship experienced by these displaced individuals.
As we reflect on this historical moment through Lange's lens, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and empathy towards those facing adversity. This photograph serves as a testament to both human suffering and resilience, capturing a snapshot of American life during one of its darkest chapters.
