EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "General view of Kern migrant camp, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936. The image presents a stark and poignant depiction of life in a migrant camp during the Great Depression in the United States. The photograph shows a vast expanse of tents arranged in rows, forming a tent city that stretches as far as the eye can see. The camp, located in Kern County, California, was established to provide temporary shelter for thousands of displaced farmers and their families who had been forced to leave their land due to economic hardships brought about by the Depression. At the center of the image, a flagpole stands tall, flying the American flag, a symbol of patriotism and hope amidst the despair. The flags of various states and organizations can also be seen fluttering in the wind, adding a sense of unity and solidarity among the residents of the camp. The photograph was taken during Lange's tenure with the Farm Security Administration (FSA), a New Deal agency established to provide relief to rural areas affected by the Depression. Lange, who was known for her compassionate and empathetic approach to photography, used her camera to document the plight of the poor and destitute, bringing attention to the harsh realities of the Depression and the need for government intervention. This photograph is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of Lange's work and the enduring impact of the Great Depression on American history. The image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity, and the importance of coming together as a community to support one another during times of hardship.
