EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Marion Post Wolcott transports us back to the year 1941 in Belle Glade, Florida. It depicts the living quarters and a lively "juke joint" that served as an entertainment hub for migratory workers during a slack season. The image showcases a slice of American history, highlighting the struggles and resilience of African American migrant workers in rural areas. The scene is filled with vibrant signs advertising popular beverages such as Jax ice-cold beer, Royal Crown cola, and Coca-Cola. These signs not only represent refreshment but also symbolize the growing influence of consumerism in mid-20th century America. The dilapidated building housing both the living quarters and juke joint stands as a testament to poverty and limited resources faced by these hardworking individuals. Despite their circumstances, they found solace in this rustic establishment where music played late into the night. Marion Post Wolcott's photograph captures more than just physical structures; it encapsulates an entire era marked by regionalism and agricultural labor. Through her lens, she immortalizes the faces of men gathered outside this venue - men who sought respite from their arduous work on timber farms. As we observe this still image today, we are reminded of our country's complex past while acknowledging its progress towards equality and social justice. This piece serves as a reminder that every corner of America has its own unique story waiting to be discovered through artistry like Marion Post Wolcott's remarkable photography.
