In some of history's most famous photos, children have captured the nation's imagination and impacted public opinion in measurable way.
Although Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother," taken on a pea farm in California, was the most iconic image to come out of the federal Farm Security Adminstration's vast public relations effort, thousands of other images were also saved from farm labor camps across the United States.
The FSA believed photographing the everyday lives of migrant farm workers and their families would drum up national support for the program, which provided loans and low-rent housing, while directing laboerers to farms that needed help, between 1935 and 1944, according to the Texas State Historical Association.
Texas was home to several FSA camps, where families had access to free medical and dental care, community gardens and nursery schools for young children.
These photos were taken by FSA photographer Arthur Rothstein in 1942, at FSA camps in Robstown near Corpus Christi, Harlingen in the Rio Grande Valley, Sinton north of Corpus Christi and Weslaco between McAllen and Harlingen.
