EDITORS COMMENTS
CHICAGO: STOOP, 1941. Capturing the essence of African American life in Chicago during the early 1940s, this photograph by Russell Lee transports us to a stoop in the heart of the city's bustling North Side. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a group of men and a woman leisurely seated on the stoop, embodying both resilience and camaraderie. The image showcases an authentic slice of working-class existence as these individuals take a moment to unwind from their daily routines. The worn staircase and storefront behind them serve as reminders of the vibrant commerce that thrived within this community. This photograph is not just about capturing faces; it encapsulates an entire era marked by determination and unity. Taken during April 1941 as part of Lee's documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), it offers a glimpse into everyday life at a time when America was undergoing significant social change through programs like Roosevelt's New Deal. Through his lens, Lee immortalizes moments that would otherwise be lost to history. This powerful print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to reflect upon our shared past while honoring those who shaped our present. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, communities find strength in each other.
