EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Dorothea Lange in 1939, showcases a powerful moment of unity and community spirit. Titled "Women assembled at Wheeleys Church near Gordonton, North Carolina" this image transports us back to a time when people came together to support one another during challenging times. In this snapshot of Americana, we witness a group of women congregated outside the church's doorway on their annual cleaning up day. Clad in simple yet elegant clothing that reflects the fashion trends of the era, these resilient ladies are armed with brooms and buckets as they diligently work to clean both the church and its surrounding grounds. Lange's lens captures not only their physical labor but also their unwavering faith and dedication to Christianity. The Depression-era backdrop adds depth to this photograph, symbolizing the economic hardships faced by many Americans during that period. The composition beautifully highlights each woman's individuality while emphasizing their collective strength as members of this tight-knit congregation. Their hats serve as an emblematic accessory that adds charm and character to the scene. Preserved within the archives of Congress' Farm Security Administration collection, Lange's work continues to resonate with viewers today. This poignant portrait reminds us of our shared heritage and serves as a testament to resilience in times of poverty and recession.
