Dorothea Lange: Grab A Hunk of Lightning

Premiere date: August 29, 2014 | 0:02:53

Dorothea Lange's work documenting those struggling through the Great Depression, Dust Bowl and sharecropping system brought her into contact with resilient men and women. This film excerpt from American Masters - Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning opens with Lange speaking with admiration about Tom Collins, the manager of a federal "Migratory Labor Camp" in Kern County, CA, whom she met and photographed. Collins became the model for a character in John Steinbeck's novel, The Grapes of Wrath (1939). (For more about the real man and character and Lange's photography, see The National Archives.)

Lange and her husband Paul Schuster Taylor, an economist, both worked for the Farm Security Administration, conducting research and documentation across states. They drove from their home in California to the Southeastern states to not only capture the plight of migrant workers, but also the poverty of those rooted to the sharecropping system.

Jim Crow Laws

Imagine that you are a teenager, and you're ready to go to high school. You really want to go to high school and maybe even college because you enjoy learning and want to get a good job in the future.

But there's a problem. You live on a farm in the middle of nowhere, and the only school in the area won't allow you to attend because of the color of your skin.

There are dozens of scenarios I could ask you to imagine about what it was like to be black in the Jim Crow South. I could ask you to think about going to a movie with friends, only to be shut out because the only theater in town is whites-only. I could ask you to imagine traveling to a new town, only to discover that none of the hotels or motels would allow you to check in. What if you were on the road and starving but couldn't eat at any restaurants?

For the first century after the American Civil War, Jim Crow laws, or segregation laws, sprang up in the South. These laws kept power in the hands of whites, while keeping black Americans from being able to get the same benefits of society as their neighbors.

Of all the places that the Jim Crow laws hurt African Americans, perhaps the most poignant was in the education system, where millions of children were shut out of a good education because of the color of their skin. Let's look closer at how the Jim Crow laws impacted American education.

Separate & Unequal

Even when the Jim Crow laws were being enacted, many people (including white people) felt that they were not fair. They believed that blacks and whites should have equal access to opportunity.

So how did the Jim Crow laws manage to be passed if many people believed that everyone should be equal? The phrase 'separate but equal' was a common refrain in the Jim Crow South. Proponents of the laws said that they provided equal opportunities for everyone, though in separate quarters.

Of course, that was not true at all. In education, for example, black schools received on average far less money than white schools. Because of that, school conditions were vastly different. White school buildings were maintained far better than black school buildings, and white classrooms were less crowded. White schools could afford to pay for the best educators.

Some black schools even had inequality of materials. In some places, black schools were not allowed to use textbooks with the Constitution or Declaration of Independence in them, because the white school boards feared that would lead to black students wanting equality and freedom.

And that was just the inequalities between the students who had access to school at all. Remember when I asked you to imagine that you wanted to go to school but couldn't because the only school in your area was all-white? Sadly, this was true for many people.

After the Civil War, most African Americans in the South lived in rural areas. Those small towns and farming communities could often only afford to support one school, and so the only school offered was whites-only. For many blacks, that meant that the only black school available to them was too far away for them to attend.

Rosenwald Schools

Amongst all the depressing news about education in the Jim Crow South, there is one bright spot. It started in 1912, with a collaboration between millionaire Julius Rosenwald, who was the head of Sears Roebuck & Company, and Booker T. Washington, a famous black educator.

The American Library Association reported 311 formal, written challenges to books

smithsonian.com

To Kill a Mockingbird. The Great Gatsby. The Diary of Anne Frank. Where the Wild Things Are. These aren't just beloved, classic books - they're books that have been banned or challenged over the years. Now, the American Library Association has released its list of 2014's most-challenged books.

The list was released by the Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom, which conducts oversight on library professionals and collects statistics on censorship. It uses newspapers and individual reports of challenges to published materials, then publishes a bimonthly newsletter on challenged books and compiles the statistics into an annual list. Every year during Banned Books Week, the list is published in what the Association calls an effort to "inform the public about censorship efforts that affect libraries and schools."

This year, the ALA reported 311 formal, written challenges to books. At the top of this year's list is Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, which was number three on last year's list. Dav Pilkev's Captain Underpants series, which topped last year's list, has fallen off the list, though Pilkev still remains on the ALA's list of frequently-challenged authors.

In an infographic about challenged books, the ALA notes that 35 percent of challenges come from parents and 38 percent are filed in public libraries. Over the last decade, notes the ALA, over 5,000 challenges have been recorded by its Office for Intellectual Freedom, 1,577 of which were for "sexually explicit" material and 1,291 of which were for "offensive language" (age inappropriateness, violence and homosexuality also top the list of reasons why people challenge books).

What better way to celebrate Banned Books Week than to take a look at one of the most-challenged contenders? Brush up on banned books and check out the complete top 10 list:

1) The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie

Reasons: anti-family, cultural insensitivity, drugs/alcohol/smoking, gambling, offensive language, sex education, sexually explicit, unsuited for age group, violence. Additional reasons: "depictions of bullying"

2) Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi

Reasons: gambling, offensive language, political viewpoint. Additional reasons: "politically, racially, and socially offensive," "graphic depictions"

3) And Tango Makes Three, by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell

Reasons: Anti-family, homosexuality, political viewpoint, religious viewpoint, unsuited for age group. Additional reasons: "promotes the homosexual agenda"

4) The Bluest Eye, by Toni Morrison

Reasons: Sexually explicit, unsuited for age group. Additional reasons: "contains controversial issues"

5) It's Perfectly Normal, by Robie Harris

Reasons: Nudity, sex education, sexually explicit, unsuited to age group. Additional reasons: "alleges it child pornography"

6) , by Brian Vaughan and Fiona Staples

Reasons: Anti-Family, nudity, offensive language, sexually explicit, and unsuited for age group.

7) The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini

8) The Perks of Being a Wallflower, by Stephen Chbosky

Censorship and controlling ideas in the classroom: Dr. Yvonne Chiu at TEDxHongKongED

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Can too much information too soon actually be harmful to students? Is there some value to censoring ideas in the classroom? If so, what does censorship mean in this context, and how should it be done?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Inside the Woodridge Neighborhood Library in the U.S. capital, a wall is plastered with ominous warning signs: "Reading This Book Display Is Banned" and "No Books to See Here." Below the messages are shelves with books that have been banned, at one time or another, in parts of the United States. They include books in the popular Harry Potter series, banned for "witchcraft," and the classic futuristic novel Brave New World, which has been banned for sexual content.

Although no books have been removed from libraries or schools in Washington, the display is part of Banned Books Week, which runs through September 30. The annual event points out the perils of censorship and emphasizes the freedom to read.

Among the groups sponsoring Banned Books Week is the American Library Association (ALA), which releases an annual list of the 10 most challenged books - works that have been targeted for removal from a library or school curriculum.

"Some of the themes could be dealing with LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) issues, race and religion," said Julius Jefferson Jr. of the ALA's intellectual freedom committee. Most requests for books to be banned "you see coming from parents, because they feel they are not appropriate for their children," he added.

Such topics may include "families with two dads or two moms," said Linnea Hegarty, executive director of Washington's DC Public Library Foundation.

"Books about war are often banned, particularly if they talk about political issues," she added, and also books about mental illness, because "some parents don't want their children to be exposed to that."
Transgender issues, profanity, Cosby
The books on this year's ALA list were mostly written for children or young adults, such as Drama, by Raina Telgemeier, which includes transgender characters, and Mariko Tamaki's This One Summer, which some critics have said is offensive due to profane language and instances of drug use.

In a first this year, a book was listed not due to its content or style, but because the author is under fire. Comedian and children's story-teller Bill Cosby wrote a series of books called Little Bill. The series is being challenged because of sexual assault allegations against Cosby.

As part of Banned Books Week, hundreds of copies of six other books that may be challenged or banned have been hidden in places like museums, restaurants and coffee shops around Washington, for anyone to take home for free.

At the Duende District Bookstore in Washington, customer Lyric Prince discovered Fahrenheit 451, a science-fiction novel that depicts an American society where books are outlawed, and firemen burn any contraband literature. Some people object to the burning of a Bible in the story.

Prince is not surprised that books like this novel published more than 60 years ago are still banned today, because "a lot of places in this country don't exactly take kindly to progressive ideas."

Another customer, Katie Schwartz, found The Giver, criticized for its violence in a story about a world of conformity. Schwartz can't believe books are still banned in the U.S., especially since the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom of speech.

"It's an American right to express yourself however you see fit," she said. "It's also an American right to avoid things by choice that you don't agree with, and books are very easily avoided if you don't agree with them."

The American Library Association, which keeps tabs on challenges and bans, is aware of about 250 challenges last year, but it says very few succeed, and books hardly ever wind up truly banned.

Dorothea Lange: Grab A Hunk of Lightning

Premiere date: July 13, 2011 | 0:04:30

On March 11, 1936, Dorthea Lange's iconic image, Migrant Mother, was published in the San Francisco News. Since that first publication, the iconic photo has come to represent America's Great Depression and the strain of poverty in rural America.

Migrant Mother is part of the body of work Dorothea Lange created while working for the Farm Security Administration. Many of Lange's photographs of migrant farmers, sharecroppers and Dust Bowl farmers from that period are held today at the Library of Congress. While researching the film American Masters - Dorothea Lange: Grab a Hunk of Lightning, director Dyanna Taylor - Lange's granddaughter - visited the Library of Congress to discuss Lange's photos with a curator at the library.

Migrant Mother is just one of a series of photos Lange shot at a pea pickers' camp in California. It was a stop she almost didn't make. She had passed the sign for the camp while driving home from another assignment, and after some miles of thinking about it, turned her car around to visit the camp. The story of the photo is discussed in Taylor's very first visit to the Lange collection at the Library of Congress, which was filmed for Picturing America (July 2011), a program of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Learn about the life of the woman depicted in the famous photograph, in this Antiques Roadshow article on Florence Thompson. Antiques Roadshow appraises the Migrant Mother photograph in a web exclusive video.

Dorothea Lange: Grab A Hunk of Lightning

Premiere date: August 29, 2014 | 0:01:45

When she was in her early twenties, Dorothea Lange decided to leave New York City and travel the world with a friend. They only made it as far as San Francisco, where a pickpocket stole all their money and ended their world travels.

Lange had already learned photography through her apprenticeship to photographer Arthur Genthe in New York City. In 1919 at the age of 24, she opened her own portrait studio in San Francisco. She worked many solitary hours there but her studio also became a place where artists came to socialize.

Of her early work as a portrait photographer, Lange said, "I did all the work myself. It was a successful studio. But I worked 18 hours, 20 hours, every day. I really worked. I was determined that I could make that go. And I did."
