EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of migrant workers in 1937. The image showcases a group of carrot pullers from Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Mexico toiling away in the Coachella Valley, California. From seven in the morning until twelve noon, these men and women work tirelessly for a meager wage of 35 cents. Photographed by Dorothea Lange in February 1937 during the Great Depression era, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by rural communities during that time. The subjects are depicted wearing worn-out hats and rugged clothing while surrounded by crates filled with harvested carrots. The photograph not only highlights the difficult conditions endured by these migrant workers but also sheds light on issues such as poverty and resettlement. It is a testament to Lange's ability to capture raw emotions through her lens. As we reflect on this historical moment captured over eight decades ago, it serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by working-class individuals seeking employment opportunities amidst economic downturns. This print from Granger Art on Demand provides us with an opportunity to remember our past and appreciate how far we have come in terms of labor rights and social progress.
