Daytona Beach, Florida in 1943 - A Glimpse into African American Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Gordon Parks takes us back to Daytona Beach, Florida in the year 1943. As an iconic figure of the 20th century, Parks beautifully captures a moment that reflects both the struggles and resilience of African Americans during this era. In this still image, we see a bustling street scene with people going about their daily lives. The focal point is an ice cream parlor adorned with posters advertising "Silas Green from New Orleans" a popular show at the time. The building itself showcases various shops and businesses, including one selling bottled gas cylinders. Parks' composition invites us to explore every detail within the frame - from the architectural elements of the buildings to the expressions on people's faces as they engage in shopping or socializing. It serves as a reminder of how communities came together despite facing adversity. As part of his work for Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Parks documented life across America during this period. His photographs provided valuable insights into different aspects of society while also highlighting African American experiences. This particular photograph now resides within the Library of Congress' collection, serving as a testament to Parks' talent and his contribution to preserving our nation's history. Through his lens, he captured not only moments frozen in time but also stories waiting to be told for generations to come.
