EDITORS COMMENTS
MISSISSIPPI: STOREFRONT, 1936 captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing an African American tailor and barbershop in the heart of Vicksburg. This powerful photograph by Walker Evans, taken in February 1936 during the Great Depression era, provides a glimpse into the resilience and determination of black entrepreneurs amidst challenging times. The image portrays a modest yet dignified building that served as both a tailoring establishment and barbershop for the local community. Its weathered exterior reflects the hardships faced by businesses during this period. However, it also symbolizes hope and perseverance as African Americans sought to establish their own enterprises despite racial discrimination prevalent at that time. Evans' lens beautifully captures not only architectural details but also the spirit of commerce within this rural town. The storefront stands as a testament to economic self-sufficiency within Mississippi's predominantly black community. This photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection which documented life across America during this transformative period under President Roosevelt's New Deal policies. It serves as an important historical artifact shedding light on both racial dynamics and economic struggles faced by marginalized communities in the Southeast region. As we reflect upon our past, let us recognize and honor those who defied adversity with determination and entrepreneurship like this African American tailor and his barbershop.
