EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in New Bern, North Carolina around 1920, showcases the resilience and strength of Aunt Letty. The image depicts a proud African American woman balancing baskets filled with fresh vegetables on her head as she stands confidently on a dirt road. Aunt Letty's striking portrait captures the essence of early 20th-century life in the Southeastern United States. Her clothing reflects the fashion trends of that era, while her determined expression hints at the challenges she may have faced as an African American woman during this time. The backdrop of New Bern adds to the historical significance of this photograph. Known for its rich history and cultural heritage, this small town in North Carolina provides context to Aunt Letty's story within a larger narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Aunt Letty's daily routine - gathering vegetables to sustain herself and her community. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience exhibited by women like Aunt Letty who played vital roles within their communities despite facing adversity. With every detail meticulously captured by the photographer, this print offers us a glimpse into a specific moment in history that deserves recognition and appreciation for its contribution to our understanding of African American culture in early 20th-century America.
