EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chicago: Church, 1941" takes us back in time to the vibrant South Side of Chicago. The image showcases a sign outside a church, standing proudly amidst its surroundings. The church itself is an emblem of strength and faith within the African American community during this era. Its exterior displays intricate details that reflect the rich history and culture of the neighborhood it serves. Painted with care, the sign not only identifies the place of worship but also acts as a beacon for those seeking solace and unity. Photographer Edwin Rosskam skillfully captures this moment in July 1941, freezing it forever in time. His lens beautifully frames both the architectural beauty of the church and its significance within its community. This photograph offers us a glimpse into life on Chicago's South Side during an important period in American history. It reminds us of the resilience and determination displayed by African Americans living in what was known as "the Black Belt". Through their churches, they found strength to overcome adversity and build strong communities. Granger Art on Demand brings this historical gem to life once again through their print collection, allowing viewers to appreciate both Rosskam's artistry behind the camera lens and his ability to capture significant moments from our past.
