DB 6


The reason the project has significant impact on the society is that it gave a perception of depth to how bad the impact was. Like that old saying goes: A picture speaks a thousand words.  In most of the pictures you see how the people interacted, such as the signs depicting segregation. These pictures allow you to compare the current society norms that you are in to what they had. Which in returns gives some of these pictures more of an impact to the viewer.

In terms of the Migrant Mother it depicts what everyone went through during the migratory farm labor and the great depression. You can see in the mother’s eyes the large amount of despair and sadness in the two children. The mother in the picture seems very uncertain with her future. When you compare this picture to today, it shows you how bad they had it.
