The project has impact on the society because it shows that there are families who cannot afford what others can. There are families that cannot buy all the groceries, clothes, and other luxuries that others take for granted. In society everyone is focused on themselves and don’t really think about the ones that cannot live the life we are enjoying because of the way the country might be handled, job opportunities do not arise, which makes their lives hard.
“Destitute pea pickers in California”
Dorothea Lange had taken this photograph of Florence Owens Thompson and her children, also known as the ‘Migrant Mother’ picture. In the photograph it shows 32 year old Florence Thompson sitting under a tent with her seven children surrounding her. One can see she is not living a life of happiness with her children hungry and barely being able to afford food. The role of the ‘Migrant Mother’ photograph is to show the public, anyone who sees this picture, as a cry for help. Dorothea Lange was on a trip photographing migratory farm labor and came across Florence and her children in Nipomo, California.
