EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Street scene, Daytona Beach, Florida, 1943" captures a moment frozen in time by the talented creator Gordon Parks. The image showcases an idyllic street scene in Daytona Beach during the 1940s. As we delve into this piece of American history, we are transported to a different era. The photograph highlights the architectural beauty of Bethune Cookman College, now known as Bethune Cookman University. This prestigious institution played a significant role in education and employment opportunities for African Americans during that period. The grandeur of the building stands tall amidst palm trees swaying gently in the breeze. Gordon Parks' lens skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also evokes a sense of nostalgia and heritage. Through his lens, he immortalizes an important chapter in American history - one marked by social change and progress brought about by organizations like Farm Security Administration (FSA), National Youth Administration (NYA), and Office of War Information (OWI). As we gaze at this remarkable work of art housed within the Congressional Library's collection at the Library of Congress, we can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates both nature's beauty and human endeavor side by side. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times such as those faced during World War II and racial segregation struggles; there is always hope for growth and unity. Let us cherish this photographic gem from Gordon Parks – an artist who used his camera to document America's past while inspiring generations to strive for equality and progress.
