Beyond the Bubble: Lange's Iconic Photograph

Curated by ACT

[Free Registration/Login Required] The Resettlement Administration was one of President Franklin Roosevelt's agencies that helped people from the Dust Bowl. This agency hired photographer Dorothea Lange to take pictures that would build support for its programs. The famous photograph on this page was one of several that Dorothea Lange took of migrant farm worker Florence Thompson and some of her seven children. Students will study it and answer questions about its reliability, given the context in which it was taken.
