-          Dorothy Lange- Migratory workers from Oklahoma washing in hot spring in the desert. Imperial Valley, California- 1937 Mar

This picture, taken by Dorothy Lange in an Oklahoma desert, shows the kind of challenges that people suffering from the “Dust Bowl” had to face. After the severe drought, over farming, and dust storms, people like this had to move away sometimes to deserts. Lange successfully capturing the harsh conditions like having to bathe in a muddy ponds and live in homemade, crude tents shows the widespread effect that not only the government and economic failures had on the country, but also more natural disasters in the Great Depression such as the dust bowl. Many people were forced to be basically homeless.
