EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the lunch counter employees at a Peoples Drug store in Arlington, Virginia. It was taken on June 9,1960, during a time when racial segregation and discrimination were deeply ingrained in American society. In the image, we see black and white customers staging a sit-in demonstration while the employees prepare to close early. The tension is palpable as these brave individuals challenge the unjust Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. This act of civil disobedience aimed to bring attention to the inequality faced by African Americans who were denied service at segregated lunch counters. The composition of this photograph speaks volumes about the struggle for integration and equality during this era. We witness men and women from different backgrounds seated together at the counter, defying societal norms and demanding change. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our fight against racism and discrimination but also highlights how much work still needs to be done. This image is part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection, which preserves historical moments like these so that they are not forgotten or repeated.
