In the 1930s, the FSA employed several photographers to document the effects of the Great Depression on Americans. Many of the photographs can also be seen as propaganda images to support the U.S. government's policy distributing support to the worst affected, poorer areas of the country. en:Dorothea Lange's image of a migrant pea picker, en:Florence Owens Thompson, and her family has become an icon of resilience in the face of adversity.

Lange actually took six images that day, the last being the famous "Migrant Mother". This is a montage of the other five pictures.
