EDITORS COMMENTS
CHICAGO: STREET, 1941 captures a poignant moment in the African American section of Chicago, Illinois. This powerful photograph by Russell Lee offers a glimpse into the daily life and struggles of black residents during this era. The image showcases a bustling street scene, with pedestrians navigating the sidewalk and women going about their shopping routines. Taken as part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project during the New Deal era, Lee's lens sheds light on the resilience and determination of African Americans in mid-20th century America. The storefronts lining the street serve as reminders of both economic opportunities and challenges faced by this community. The composition beautifully captures not only architectural details but also human stories etched onto every face present in this snapshot from history. It serves as a testament to unity and strength within an often marginalized neighborhood. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it is a historical document that invites viewers to reflect upon societal progress while acknowledging past injustices. As we examine CHICAGO: STREET, 1941 today, it prompts us to consider how far we have come since then and reminds us that there is still work to be done towards equality for all.
