EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare artifact from the past, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of entertainment in 1940s America. The Programme for Club Ebony, created by an unknown artist, transports us to a time when racial segregation was deeply ingrained in society. This single sheet of heavyweight cream paper unfolds to reveal a striking black and red illustration adorning its front cover. In the top left corner, we are greeted by an exquisite depiction of a conga drum and the profile of an African American woman. Her black skin contrasts beautifully with her bold red lips and tall headdress adorned with shades of red, black, and white. The intricate design of the drum overlays her image seamlessly; it is white with a vivid red and black drumhead complemented by zigzag patterns along its base. Located on Broadway between 52nd and 53rd Streets in New York City, Club Ebony served as both a sanctuary for African Americans seeking entertainment during this era and as evidence of their resilience amidst adversity. This souvenir program not only represents cultural heritage but also stands as testament to the power music has in breaking down barriers. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this piece offers valuable insights into our shared history while reminding us how far we have come since those segregated times. Let us honor these brave individuals who defied societal norms through their artistic expressions at Club Ebony—a place where talent thrived despite racial divisions that plagued our nation's past.
