EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936, captures some of the facilities at the Kern County migrant camp in California during the Great Depression. The image provides a stark glimpse into the living conditions of the displaced people who were forced to migrate due to economic hardships and poverty. The photograph shows a row of makeshift structures, including a laundry area and an office, which served as the community's communal spaces. The women in the photograph are seen washing clothes in large tubs, highlighting the arduous daily tasks that were necessary for survival. The photograph is part of Dorothea Lange's work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to document the realities of the Great Depression and the plight of the displaced population. The image is a poignant reminder of the forced migration and displacement that occurred during this period, and serves as an important historical record of a significant moment in American history.
