Visual Democracy: Dorothea Lange

Dorothea Lange was the countrys most influential documentary photographer in the period 1930-1950. She worked for several state and federal government agencies documenting the social issues of this period: the Great Depression, FDR and his New Deals war against the depression crisis, Californias World War II defense industries, the Japanese internment, and the 1945 inaugural meeting of the United Nations in San Francisco. In Professor Linda Gordons lecture on Langes vision of American democracy, she suggests how visual images helped shape our political ethics.

Wonderful subject matter, well done, but would have been more enjoyable had there been less focus on the speaker and more examples of the photography - shown not as projected, but as good quality images. Nevertheless, I am grateful to be able to sit in on this lecture.
