Migrant Worker is probably the most recognized photograph in the US. Dorothea Lange took this picture just south of San Jose. The family's car broke down near Watsonville and they ended up at one of the workers' camps in the area. Back in the depression our crops were picked not by Mexicans but by poor whites, often Okies fleeing the Dust Bowl.
Florence Owens, the mother here, did eventually attain financial security in her second marriage.
Interesting that this is in Elton Johns collection. Hope to see this in SF next year.
