EDITORS COMMENTS
CHICAGO: BOY, 1941. Capturing the spirit of Easter in Chicago, Illinois, this poignant photograph transports us back to a time when traditions were cherished and celebrated with great fervor. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a young African American boy dressed up for the Easter Parade. The year is 1941, and amidst the bustling streets of Chicago's vibrant North Side neighborhood, this teenager stands tall and proud. Donning an impeccably tailored suit and a stylish hat that adds an air of sophistication to his ensemble, he exudes confidence and charm beyond his years. As he poses next to a classic car parked on the city's mid-century streetscape, one can't help but marvel at the juxtaposition between old-world elegance and youthful exuberance. The photographer Edwin Rosskam skillfully captures not only the external beauty but also hints at the dreams and aspirations hidden behind those bright eyes. This photograph serves as a testament to resilience during challenging times; it was taken during America's New Deal era when hope was being restored through various government initiatives. It reminds us that even in uncertain times like these, celebrations such as Easter bring communities together while offering solace and joy. Preserved by Granger Art on Demand from The Granger Collection archives in New York City, this image invites us to reflect upon our own traditions and cherish moments of unity that transcend generations.
