MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History May 26, 1895: American photojournalist Dorothea Lange was born. She is best-known for her empathetic photographs of people during the Great Depression. However, she is also one of the first to document the suffering of Japanese Americans who were imprisoned during World War II.</p><p>Lange grew up poor, in New York’s Lower East Side. She was one of the only gentiles in her school, which was predominantly Jewish. As a young adult, she moved to San Francisco, where she began her career doing portraits for the wealthy. But as the depression began, she turned her camera to the streets, on hobo camps, refugees from Oklahoma, farmers, breadlines, the homeless, portraying the misery and desperation of the period, becoming one of the first photodocumentarians. 22 of her photographs were used in John Steinbeck’s 1936 journalistic series for the San Francisco news, The Harvest of Gypsies, and they served as an inspiration for the film version of Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreatDepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GreatDepression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ww2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ww2</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>japanese</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConcentrationCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ConcentrationCamp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DorotheaLange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DorotheaLange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a></p>
Dallin<p>My great-grandfather lived through the Great Depression, when the popular saying was:</p><p>"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."</p><p>The way things are currently going in the world, many of us are going to have to hold onto our computers and phones much longer than we're used to and figure out how to keep them working.</p><p>We're all going to learn just how important Right-To-Repair and free software are.</p><p>If you can't install the software you want and replace or upgrade key components, you may be faced with a costly purchase, or have to do without.</p><p>Now is the time to figure this out, because it's not going to get easier or cheaper for a while. Probably a long while.</p><p>If you don't know where to start, ask Fedi! Lots of super-experienced and knowledgeable people here ready and willing to help guide you.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/rightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/bigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bigTech</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/freeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>freeSoftware</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/tech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tech</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/greatDepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>greatDepression</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fediverse</span></a></p>
