EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Dorothea Lange in 1939, we are transported back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases a member of the committee from an adjoining town erecting a sign on U. S. 99 highway near Hanford, California. The sign boldly reads, "Abstinence Not Moderation, Will Reduce Accidents" representing the strong influence of the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) during that era. The WCTU was one of the most influential women's groups of the 19th century, initially advocating for labor laws, prison reform, and suffrage. However, it later shifted its focus primarily towards prohibition. This particular sign emphasizes their dedication to promoting abstinence from alcohol as a means to prevent accidents. Lange's composition captures not only the historical significance but also the economic struggles faced during the Great Depression. Through her lens, we witness how societal issues such as alcohol consumption were intertwined with broader concerns about economics and public safety. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of America's past and highlights how different social movements shaped our nation's history. It stands as a testament to Lange's ability to capture profound moments through her photography while shedding light on important cultural shifts that continue to resonate today.
