EDITORS COMMENTS
CHICAGO: NURSE, 1941. A powerful symbol of resilience and progress, this print captures a nurse at Provident Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. In an era marked by racial segregation, Provident Hospital stood as one of the few African-American hospitals with an entirely African-American staff. The photograph was taken by Edwin Rosskam in 1941, showcasing his keen eye for capturing the essence of everyday life. The nurse depicted here is a testament to the unwavering dedication and strength exhibited by African-American healthcare professionals during a time when their contributions were often overlooked or undervalued. Clad in her surgical mask and uniform, she exudes professionalism and compassion as she tends to her patients' needs. This image serves as a reminder of the significant strides made within the medical field towards equality and inclusivity. It stands as a tribute to all those who fought against adversity to provide quality care for their communities. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection - an invaluable snapshot that encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Let this print serve as inspiration for future generations, reminding us all of our shared responsibility to uphold justice and equality within society.
