Dorothea Lange images



This photo, Migrant Mother, is one you may have seen before in textbooks. It was shot in a California migrant labor camp in 1936.



Here is an image that was shot by Lange the day after Pearl Harbor was attacked. It is the storefront of a Japanese American business.



Here is an image Lange shot in an internment camp in San Francisco in April 1942.

** Why are the bottom two photos important to the concept of the media shaping history?
