Untitled photo, possibly related to: Family between Dallas and Austin, Texas. The people have left their home and connections in South Texas, and hope to reach the Arkansas Delta for work in the cotton fields. Penniless people. No food and three gallons of gas in the tank. The father is trying to repair a tire. Three children. Father says, "It's tough but life's tough anyway you take it" -- Dorothea Lange -- 1936 -- Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives -- Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division -- Call Number: LC-USF34- 009742-C [P&P

As ICE adopt electric shock gloves to hurt and humiliate their victims, let us all remember these impoverished migrants from the USA's not so distant past, sense a common humanity, and reject the cruelty of the Trump administration.

Santa Fe, New Mexico. Gas station price analysis

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017771681/

The black and white photograph captures a busy urban scene, likely from the mid-20th century given its monochrome nature. Dominating the foreground is an array of vintage signs advertising various services in bold, capitalized fonts: "WASHING G REASING M OTOR STEAM CLEANED," suggesting steam-powered motor washing; "FISHING WORMS" alongside a phone number for storage and sales indicates a nearby business selling fishing supplies. Another sign announces gasoline prices with rates listed at 5¢, State $1-3¢, Uncle Sam (presumably for government vehicles) $1¢ -2½¢ city R.R.$1¢ to agent 4⅛¢ per gallon; the "ME" cost is humorously priced at "$20." In the background sits a steam engine or locomotive parked on tracks next to an asphalt road, hinting at nearby industrial activity. The presence of cars and palm trees suggests a warm climate, possibly in California, with the caption mentioning Santa Fe, New Mexico as additional context for this image's provenance.

A black and white photograph shows an individual working in a garden with crops. The person is using gardening tools, including what appears to be a hoe or rake. They are wearing overalls, boots, gloves, and a wide-brimmed hat for sun protection. Behind them stands a weathered wooden building which might serve as a storage shed or shelter. In the background, there's evidence of residential buildings under construction with exposed framework and wires overhead suggesting ongoing development in this area known to be associated with agricultural laborers during that period. The text "E-POHPI" is visible at the top right corner, possibly indicating an archive name or a reference code for cataloging purposes.

Rural Rehabilitation Administration client with the Rehabilitation Administration county agent. Outside of Hayward, California

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759789/

The image depicts a black and white photograph that appears to be from the early 1900s, judging by the clothing styles. Two men stand in what looks like an outdoor rural setting near a chicken coop or pen. One man is dressed formally with glasses and wearing dark trousers over shoes tied at the ankles; he holds a small crate containing chickens. The other man wears a wide-brimmed hat, light-colored long-sleeve shirt, rolled-up sleeves to his elbows, beige pants tucked into tall boots, holding what seems like a container or box of leaves or similar material. Behind them is an enclosure made from chicken wire fencing supported by wooden stakes and poles; the ground looks dry with scattered debris. There are numerous chickens within this enclosure: some standing near water on one side while others cluster in various groups inside the pen. The environment suggests agricultural activity, likely poultry farming. Both men seem engaged in a conversation or transaction involving the chickens

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759535/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor rural scene. A woman, presumably in her late twenties or early thirties based on appearance, stands holding a toddler with both arms around the child's body. She wears a patterned dress, knee-length socks, open-toe sandals, and holds a hat in one hand. The child appears to be under two years old, wearing light-colored clothing suitable for warm weather. They stand before an older wooden structure that seems worn, possibly indicating age or economic strain on the building's upkeep. To their left is a wheelbarrow filled with various tools and objects indicative of farmwork—rakes, shovels, perhaps even gardening items—and in front lies what looks like a small garden patch. The ground appears dry and dusty, suggesting an arid climate consistent with rural areas during certain seasons or periods post-drought. There are no other people visible in the immediate vicinity, focusing attention on this duo's moment captured withi

Off for the melon fields (Mexican labor). Imperial Valley, California

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759530/

The image shows a group of five individuals on the back of a flatbed truck, with four standing and one seated. They are dressed in work attire typical for laborers or farmers during an earlier era, including hats, boots, rolled-up sleeves, and overalls; some wear bandanas around their necks. The setting appears to be a dry field under bright sunlight, suggesting outdoor agricultural activity. One person is extending his arm towards the ground beside him while standing on one leg atop the truck's bed. Another individual stands with hands placed on hips, facing forward, looking off into the distance or at something outside of the frame. There are tools and equipment visible around them, indicating they may be involved in farming or agricultural work. The photograph is monochromatic and has a grainy texture typical of older black-and-white photography.

El Monte federal subsistence housing. Three-room house. Seventeen dollars and seventy cents rent applied on purchase. Father: carpenter. California

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759714/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting three individuals engaged in agricultural activity on what appears to be a farm. They are using manual tools, specifically hoes or rakes, to work the soil. In the background stands a modest single-story building with a gabled roof, likely serving as storage or shelter for farming equipment. The setting suggests an open rural area during daylight hours under clear skies. The attire of the individuals is indicative of early 20th-century clothing styles, suggesting that this photograph could be from around that time period. The presence of wooden structures and fencing further emphasizes a farm environment. In terms of historical context, such imagery can evoke discussions about agricultural practices before mechanized farming took hold in America. It may also raise questions regarding rural living standards during the early part of last century or reflect on changes in American agriculture over time.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759538/

This black and white photograph depicts a rural landscape with an old, weathered wooden house at the center. A large pole stands on one side of the property with what appears to be remnants of windmill blades attached to it. The surrounding area is desolate, featuring open fields that suggest a prairie or plains environment without any trees in sight. In the background, several smaller structures are visible along with scattered household items and livestock, hinting at farming activity. A dirt road winds through the foreground leading away from the house towards these additional buildings. There's clear evidence of human habitation despite its isolated appearance; however, no people can be seen within this frame. The photo is marked with text indicating it belongs to a series or collection by photographer Dorothea Lange and notes that these individuals are expected to be resettled as their land will revert back to cattle range usage.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017759572/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting a desolate rural landscape, characterized by its barren trees with no leaves suggesting it might be taken during the winter or early spring months. A dirt road meanders through what appears to be an empty settlement. On either side of the road are simple structures that resemble houses or sheds, with most being white with dark roofs and one larger structure in the background possibly a barn or garage with wooden siding. The homes appear modest and unadorned. The surroundings feature dry grass fields extending into the distance where more similar buildings can be seen on both sides of the road. A wire fence runs parallel to the street, separating different parcels of land. There are no visible people in this scene; it conveys a sense of abandonment or isolation. The sky is clear and grayish-blue, adding to the bleak atmosphere. The photograph seems historical given its black-and-white quality and style, suggesting that Dorothea L

The image depicts a rural landscape featuring a modest, two-bedroom house with an attached garage. The structure is single-story and has wooden siding. It's situated on what appears to be farmland or open pastureland, as indicated by the presence of fences surrounding the property. A tree-lined path leads up to the front door of the home, where we see two individuals: a woman who seems engaged in gardening activities near flower beds with various plants and flowers, and another person standing at the porch entrance. The setting is devoid of snow or signs of winter weather but suggests an early spring season due to leafless trees. The photo's black-and-white tone hints that it could be from a historical context, possibly mid-20th century given its style and grayscale presentation. There are no explicit indications of modern elements such as streetlights, cars, or contemporary clothing styles visible in the scene. The environment is tranquil with minimal activity outside, emphasizi

A black and white photograph depicting a group of eight people gathered around an old-fashioned cooking stove outdoors. They are dressed in modest, worn clothing suggesting hardship or poverty; many wear hats and coats indicative of cold weather. The men appear to be older with some wearing caps while the women have their hair uncovered except for one who is holding a child close. Children accompany them; they seem well-cared-for despite the circumstances as indicated by clean clothes on at least two young boys, possibly brothers given similar attire or accessories such as hats and coats that match those of adults around them. The setting looks rural with sparse vegetation and an overcast sky, suggesting it might be a windy day which is typical in areas affected by droughts like Dust Bowl regions. The photograph seems to capture the essence of people displaced due perhaps to circumstances beyond their control (like severe weather events), as indicated by text written above them like

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017763196/

The image depicts a woman standing outside of a makeshift tent structure. The setting appears to be an outdoor, possibly temporary living area with various objects scattered around such as barrels and what seems like agricultural equipment or tools in the background. It is rendered in black-and-white, suggesting it might be from historical records or archival photography. This photograph likely captures a moment during the Dust Bowl era when migrant workers traveled across states searching for work opportunities, often setting up temporary encampments along their journey. The woman's attire and the overall scene reflect the austere conditions faced by many migrants of that time period in agricultural regions like California.

https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2017763215/

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an outdoor scene with several small wooden cabins arranged in what appears to be a makeshift settlement. The ground seems unpaved, possibly dirt or gravel, indicating a rural setting. There are multiple telephone poles scattered around the area, suggesting some level of infrastructure development but not elaborate by any means. In front of one cabin, there's an adult and two children; it is unclear whether they live in this particular structure or if they're just passing through. The trees have sparse foliage, possibly indicating a season where leaves are scarce such as late fall or winter, which adds to the overall austere atmosphere of the scene. The condition of these structures implies that they may not be intended for long-term habitation but rather temporary housing solutions. This setting could potentially represent an instance from past socioeconomic challenges like the Great Depression when many people faced displacemen

The photograph is a black and white image showing multiple wooden signposts in an outdoor setting, likely part of a rural landscape. The signs provide directions to various locations including the "Entrance To Game Preserver," "Resettlement Administration," among others, indicating their historical significance related to land use for resettlement projects or game preservation during times such as after World War II when many were displaced. The signpost with directional arrows is in focus and seems like it's meant to guide visitors. It indicates directions towards various administrative offices possibly located nearby the area that was part of a larger project aimed at providing homes, jobs, land grants for farmers who had been displaced by war or economic downturns. In the background, there are trees and shrubs indicating an outdoor environment with natural vegetation which suggests this photo could have been taken in Georgia as per the provided link.
