This exhibition of photographs by Dorothea Lange and her fellow New Deal photographers demonstrates the power of strong images to change minds. Lange did some of her greatest work during the Great Depression years of the 1930s when she was employed by the Farm Security Administration, a federal agency formed under the Franklin Roosevelt administration’s New Deal to assistant poor farmers. Lange made iconic photographs, including her famed Migrant Mother, showing unemployed and underemployed farm workers coping with the worst of hard times.

Center hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Sat.; 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun.
