EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by the renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1937, captures the resilient spirit of a migratory family on the move in search of work during the Great Depression. The image was taken along U.S. Route 70 in Arizona, as the family traveled from their previous home in California to seek employment opportunities in the cotton fields of Roswell, New Mexico. The father, dressed in work clothes and wearing a hat to shield himself from the desert sun, sits atop the flatbed truck, steering the wheel with a determined expression. His wife, a woman of strength and fortitude, sits next to him, her arms protectively wrapped around her young children. Their belongings, including a mattress and furniture, are piled precariously on the back of the truck. The family's car, an AC Ltd, follows closely behind, carrying more of their possessions and likely offering some relief from the scorching desert heat. The image is a poignant reminder of the forced displacement and migration that occurred during the Great Depression, as families were uprooted from their homes and communities in search of work and a better future. Dorothea Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), captured this moment with sensitivity and empathy, highlighting the human stories behind the economic and geographical realities of the time. This powerful image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the American people and the challenges they faced during one of the most difficult periods in U.S. history.
