Ironically, I drove right by the LACMA yesterday. Had I seen this sooner, I would have gone there instead of the Petersen Museum. Great video as always! I learn so much about history as well as art from this channel. Gary

Oh my, to learn that little fact of her ancestry does add another layer. I was thinking she was a handsome women, so easily seeing her face as that of a rich woman, born into wealth, and those lines of worry soothed away.

Dorothea Lange really did succeed, my goodness... It reminds me of the mine disaster - you can't get past the expression. It's also unintentionally powerful how her sons both look away, like only she can face what's before them. I would've thought this was staged. I'm glad to hear the pickers received aid and hope people everywhere are still being provided for today. I feel fortunate now.

Interesting video. The 1830s migration seems a stretch to associate with this photo of a thirty year old mother a hundred years later. But it is intriguing news to me. The photo itself is one of the best and most impactful in photography history. And, notably, black and white on paper. Take that, the idea of digital "advancements in all things."

We are glad you found it intriguing (and we are also fans of paper). We thought it was important information to include precisely because of the paired migrations a century apart and because it illuminates her origins in Oklahoma.

I didn’t realize she was only 32 when that photo was taken. She looks a decade older.

I wonder how much money the U.S. Government has made off of this photo, one of the most iconic ever taken? I don't think the family in the photo ever received any compensation. I saw an interview with the kids in the picture, when they were grown.

The U.S. government doesn't make money from its photography. In fact, it doesn't even copyright its work.These photos of openly licensed.
