EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken by renowned photographer Dorothea Lange in 1939, depicts a group of migratory bean pickers who traveled all the way from Dakota to Marion County, Oregon. The image showcases the harsh realities faced by these hardworking individuals during the Great Depression. Set against the backdrop of a rural countryside, Lange's lens captures the essence of American agricultural life in this era. The field stretches out before us, with rows upon rows of beans awaiting harvesting. These migrant workers can be seen diligently picking beans under the open sky, their faces etched with determination and resilience. Lange's photography skillfully portrays both the physical labor involved in farming as well as the economic struggles faced by those affected by poverty and recession. Through her lens, she sheds light on an often overlooked segment of society - those who migrated across states in search of employment opportunities during difficult times. This powerful image serves as a visual testament to America's history and heritage. It is a reminder that even amidst adversity, people persevered and found ways to survive. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it evokes feelings of empathy for those who endured such hardships while also serving as a timeless symbol of hope and resilience for future generations to come.
