EDITORS COMMENTS
On the Move, Wagoner, Wagoner County, Oklahoma, 1936" is a poignant photograph taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange during the Great Depression era. The image captures the raw reality of displacement and hardship experienced by agricultural workers and their families during this period. The photograph features a group of people and animals hitching a ride on the back of an automobile. The worn-out cars in the background suggest the economic instability of the time, while the determined expressions on the faces of the passengers convey a sense of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The cats and other animals in the scene add a layer of complexity, highlighting the interconnectedness of human and animal life during this time. The photograph was taken during Lange's work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to farmers and rural communities affected by the Great Depression.
