EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captured by Dorothea Lange in 1935 near Bakersfield, California, showcases the harsh realities faced by three young brothers who were drought refugees from Texas. The boys are seen standing next to a water barrel, symbolizing the scarcity of resources and the struggle for survival during the Great Depression.
Lange's work with the Resettlement Administration film sheds light on the displacement and hardships experienced by countless Americans during this tumultuous period in history. The photograph conveys a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
The clothing worn by the boys reflects their humble circumstances, yet there is a sense of dignity and pride in their demeanor. Their expressions speak volumes about their experiences as forced migrants seeking refuge in a new land.
As we reflect on this poignant image, we are reminded of the enduring impact of climate change and economic instability on communities across America. Lange's documentation serves as a testament to both the struggles and strength of those who have been displaced from their homes.
Through her lens, Dorothea Lange captures not just a moment in time, but an enduring legacy that continues to resonate with viewers today.
