Tough Enough: 1936



Full size

 Shorpy

August 1936. "Family between Dallas and Austin. 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.'" Medium-format nitrate negative by Dorothea Lange for the Resettlement Administration.

  1. It won't be like Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath this time. All who are awake and care to do a little research will know who is responsible for their misery. Ha !, they think they are going to hideout offshore someplace living it up while their dirty work is done for them. The world has become a very small place.
