===FSA and its contribution to society===
The [[documentary photography]] genre describes photographs that would work as a time capsule for evidence in the future or a certain method that a person can use for a frame of reference. Facts presented in a photograph can speak for themselves after the viewer gets time to analyze it. The motto of the FSA was simply, as [[Beaumont Newhall]] insists, "not to inform us, but to move us."{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} Those photographers wanted the government to move and give a hand to the people, as they were completely neglected and overlooked, thus they decided to start taking photographs in a style that we today call "documentary photography." The FSA photography has been influential due to its realist point of view, and because it works as a frame of reference and an educational tool from which later generations could learn. Society has benefited and will benefit from it for more years to come, as this photography can unveil the ambiguous and question the conditions that are taking place.<ref>Bill Ganzel, "FSA photography," ''Farming in the 1930s'' (2003): 1–3.</ref>
