Dorothea Lange's Black South (During the Great Depression)
Loading...
Uploaded by lunchcountersitin on Oct 5, 2009
Dorothea Lange is a famous American photographer. She worked for the Farm Security Administration, taking pictures of people who were affected by the Great Depression during the 1930s.
She is most known for her Migrant Mother picture, which became "an iconic image of the Great Depression." See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Owens_Thompson
Lange's work took her all over the South, where she took pictures of both struggling blacks and whites. These photos, which were are all available from the Library of Congress' online archives, are a vivid reminder of how tough those days were.
The black folks in these pictures look hardened, but not broken. They are lean, strong, and unbowed. Life is hard, and they accept it as such.
These pictures were taken in Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas.
The music is from a traditional spiritual performed by Texas gospel singer Blind Willie Johnson (vocal and guitar) and Willie B. Harris (vocal) in 1927.
