Documenting the great depression
The project had a significant impact on society because it was able to show the world today what people have gone through during past times. It documented and told a story that is greater than words and true to life. The migrant mother photograph shot by Dorothea Lange, showed truth to what was going on during the great depression. She did not smile nor pose, just remained honest to her real life and did not question Dorothea for taking the photographs because she knew that one day these can possibly help her. Today we look at these photographs and understand the pain that people have gone through, which opens us up to helping and trying to create a better future for our people to avoid the hunger and the times of the great depression. These photographs allow us to think and hopefully teach us to come together and help each other in times of need. They are now a part of history.
