EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MEMPHIS: BEALE ST. c1939" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Memphis, Tennessee during the early 20th century. The image showcases a vibrant scene on Beale Street, where secondhand clothing stores and pawn shops line the sidewalks. Taken by renowned photographer Marion Post Wolcott in 1939, this snapshot offers a glimpse into daily life in an era marked by racial segregation and Jim Crow laws. The presence of African American men adds depth to the narrative, highlighting their resilience and resourcefulness within a society that often marginalized them. The composition captures both the exterior of these establishments as well as glimpses of people going about their day. It is evident that Beale Street was not only a commercial hub but also a social gathering place for locals. As part of the Farm Security Administration's New Deal initiatives, Wolcott's photographs documented various aspects of American life during this transformative period. This particular image stands as a testament to her ability to capture slices of history with authenticity and sensitivity. Preserved by the Library of Congress, this print serves as an invaluable visual record that allows us to reflect upon our past while appreciating how far we have come since then.
