EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Concrete mixing plant, Birmingham, Alabama" and captured by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of the Great Depression era in the United States. The image depicts a group of laborers, both African American and Caucasian, working at a construction site in Birmingham, Alabama. The foreman stands at the helm of a concrete mixer, overseeing the operation, while his workers donning bib overalls and dungarees shovel and load materials into the machine. A lorry stands nearby, ready to transport the freshly mixed concrete to the building site. The industrial scene is a stark reminder of the economic struggles faced by millions during this period, with the clothing of the workers serving as a testament to their humble means. This powerful photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange for the Farm Security Administration, is a significant piece of American heritage and a conceptual exploration of the construction industry during the Great Depression.
