EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, captures the determination and resilience of a formerly rehabilitated client and her family as they operate their own farm near Manteca, California. The scene depicts the wife, her children, and other family members working together to harvest milo maize under the vast, sun-kissed California sky. During the Great Depression, the Tenant Purchase Act enabled farmers like this family to buy their own land and make improvements with an average loan of $7,465. In this image, the family is shown to be a year and a half ahead on their payments, demonstrating their commitment and hard work. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the economic struggles faced by agricultural workers during this era and the importance of government programs in providing opportunities for those in need. Dorothea Lange, a pioneering figure in documentary photography, captured not only the harsh realities of the time but also the human spirit that persevered. This image is a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit, the importance of family, and the transformative power of determination and hard work. The children in the photograph, engaged in the harvest, represent the future and the hope for a better life. The milo maize fields symbolize the promise of a bountiful harvest and the potential for a prosperous future for this family and others like them.
