EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1938, portrays a poignant moment of assistance and compassion during the Great Depression. The image was taken at the Shafter camp for migratory agricultural workers, which was part of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in California. A WPA sewing instructor, dressed in a simple, practical apron, helps a young camper try on a newly-made coat. The child, likely wearing only a thin shirt and trousers, looks up at the instructor with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. Behind them, an ironing board and sewing machine are set up, ready for use. The room is filled with the hum of domestic appliances and the sound of fabric being cut and sewn. The New Deal program, which included the WPA, was established in response to the economic hardships of the Great Depression. It provided jobs for millions of unemployed Americans, including this sewing instructor, who was teaching a valuable skill that would help the camp's residents stay warm during the cold winter months. The photograph captures the spirit of community and cooperation that was fostered through these programs, as well as the determination and resilience of the people who participated in them. It is a poignant reminder of a time when the government stepped in to provide for its citizens during a time of great need.
