EDITORS COMMENTS
WWI: SAILORS, 1918. A glimpse into the lives of American sailors during World War I, this photograph captures a moment of respite in the resting room of the Red Cross headquarters in New Orleans, Louisiana. Taken in 1918 by an unknown photographer, it offers a unique perspective on the experiences of African American servicemen serving their country. In this sepia-toned portrait, a group of young men dressed in their crisp uniforms can be seen gathered around a table. Their faces reflect both weariness and determination as they take advantage of this brief pause from duty to catch up on some reading. The interior exudes an air of camaraderie and solidarity as these brave soldiers find solace within these walls. The significance lies not only in their military service but also in their presence at the Red Cross headquarters – an organization that provided crucial support for troops during wartime. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and adversity, there were spaces where soldiers could find comfort and connection. Through this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal era when America was united against common enemies abroad. It is a testament to the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought valiantly for freedom and justice. Let us honor those who served with unwavering courage and gratitude.
