The social documentary photography entered into the awareness of photography and art history through the photographic practice of the Farm Security Administration (FSA). The FSA hired photographers and writers to report and document the plight of the poor farmer. The Information Division of the FSA was responsible for providing educational materials and press information to the public. Under Roy Stryker, the Information Division of the FSA adopted a goal of "introducing America to Americans."
