EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1965, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of East New York, Brooklyn. Sister Teresa stands tall at a Pentecostal street service, her powerful voice resonating through the crowd. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as she passionately delivers her sermon from a podium adorned with an American flag. Frank Espada's lens beautifully captures the essence of this historic event. The midday sun casts long shadows on the faces of those gathered around Sister Teresa, highlighting their rapt attention and deep connection to her words. Each individual is unique - men and women from diverse backgrounds come together under one purpose: to listen and be moved by faith. The Puerto Rican community that thrived in East New York during this era is evident in the faces captured by Espada's camera. Their presence adds depth and richness to the scene, reflecting both their cultural heritage and their shared devotion. This photograph serves as a testament to the power of belief and community spirit that can unite people across boundaries. It reminds us that even amidst bustling city life, moments of profound spirituality can be found on ordinary street corners. Granger Art on Demand presents us with yet another treasure from our collective past - an image that encapsulates not only a specific time but also universal themes of faith, diversity, and human connection.
