EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of African-American history and culture - the iconic Tin of Murrays Superior Hair Dressing Pomade. Created in 2014, this round metal orange-colored tin is not just an ordinary hair product container; it represents the legacy of C. D. Murray, an African-American barber who invented this revolutionary pomade in his Chicago barbershop. Murray's invention gained immense popularity, leading him to establish Murrays Superior Products Co. in 1925. The company expanded its range to include various hair care products that are now sold internationally. This particular tin features a striking image of a Black man and woman proudly displaying their afro hairstyles, symbolizing the empowerment and celebration of natural Black beauty. The ink-on-metal artwork on the packaging beautifully captures the essence of heritage art while paying homage to Murray's contribution to black hairdressing. It serves as a reminder of how one individual's innovation can transcend time and become an integral part of cultural heritage. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this photograph preserves not only the physical object but also tells a story about resilience, entrepreneurship, and cultural pride within America's diverse tapestry. As we admire this image, let us appreciate its historical significance as well as recognize how it continues to inspire generations by embracing their unique identities through personal grooming choices.
