Family from Oklahoma; have been in California for 6 years... near Fresno, California, 1939 Creator: Dorothea Lange
Highway City, California, near Fresno. Family from Oklahoma; have been in California for six years, have been migratory workers now on Works Progress Administration (WPA) from which they may be cut off at the opening of the 1939 harvest. Their house represents one of many similar structures, which they are attempting to construct by their own efforts on poor land, for which they are paying a few dollars a month out of the WPA budget. Their light bill is two dollars a month. Water bill one dollar a month, kerosene for cooking five dollars per month, approximately. They own a 1929 Ford. " The cheapest thing for the government to do would be to put people like me on enough land to make a living on. You can t tell me anything about running around with the fruit, I know that deal. You are lucky if you make enough to get home. I m not a kickin, I m being tuk care of, but if I should live to be hundred this way I m not getting ahead noways."
