EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Refugee families near Holtville, California," was captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in the 1930s during the Great Depression. The image depicts a group of refugee families huddled around an old automobile, their makeshift tents and belongings scattered nearby. The scene takes place in a desolate and arid landscape, with a rubbish dump and shanty town visible in the background. Lange, a photographer for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), documented the plight of the displaced and impoverished during this period. This image, along with her other iconic works, has come to symbolize the human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity. The families in the photograph appear weary but determined, their expressions conveying a sense of hope and survival. The automobile, a model from AC Cars Ltd., serves as a poignant reminder of the families' past circumstances and their current struggle for basic necessities. The photograph was taken during a time when the country was grappling with the economic recession, and the government was implementing various programs to provide relief to the millions of unemployed and destitute. The "Refugee families near Holtville, California" photograph is an essential piece of American history, showcasing the harsh realities of the Great Depression and the efforts to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable populations. It is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to the power of photography to capture and preserve the human experience.
