EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph by Dorothea Lange captures a significant moment in the rural history of Malheur County, Oregon, during the Great Depression era. The image showcases a school bus starting up at precisely 7:30 a. m. , ready to embark on its daily mission of collecting children from new settler families. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills and rustic countryside, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by these pioneering families as they established their farms in an unforgiving landscape. The condition of the road leading up to one such farm is evident below the bench where seepage from irrigation water has taken its toll. Lange's lens skillfully conveys both hope and resilience amidst adversity. As America grappled with economic recession and widespread flooding during this time, education remained a vital pillar for these communities. The school bus symbolizes not only access to learning but also serves as a lifeline connecting isolated settlements with wider opportunities. Through her work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), Lange documented the human impact of social issues across America. This particular image exemplifies her ability to capture poignant moments that reflect larger historical narratives. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this photograph stands as testament to Lange's legacy as an influential photographer who used her artistry to shed light on important aspects of American life during challenging times.
