EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures the stark reality of a migrant family's plight as they journeyed along U.S. Highway 99 between Bakersfield and Famoso, California. The image is a poignant testament to the displacement and hardships faced by countless Americans during the Great Depression. Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), captured this scene during her extensive documentation of the economic crisis that gripped the United States in the 1930s. As she drove between Bakersfield and Famoso, she passed twenty-eight cars similar to this one within a thirty-five mile stretch between 9:00 and 9:45 in the morning. This family, with their meager belongings piled high on the backseat, were likely among the countless refugees seeking work and a better future in a new location. The photograph, titled "Migrant family on U.S. Highway 93 between Bakersfield and Famoso, California," is a powerful reminder of the forced migration and displacement that occurred during this period. The family's somber expressions and the worn-out automobile they travel in underscore the harsh realities of poverty and economic instability that defined the era. This image, part of the Dorothea Lange Collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable heritage art piece that offers a glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
