EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Gordon Parks in 1942, we are introduced to Johnnie Lew, the owner of a laundry situated beneath Mrs. Ella Watson's apartment in Washington, D. C. The image captures an intimate moment as Johnnie Lew takes a break from his work to enjoy a cigarette. The composition exudes a sense of quiet determination and resilience that was characteristic of Chinese Americans during this era. As an immigrant running his own business, Johnnie Lew represents the hardworking spirit that defined many individuals striving for success in America. Parks' masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the contours of Johnnie Lew's face and emphasizing his focused expression. The details captured in this gelatin silver print transport us back to a time when small businesses thrived amidst challenging circumstances. This photograph not only serves as a historical document but also invites contemplation about themes such as immigration, labor, and identity within American society. It reminds us of the diverse tapestry that makes up our country's history. As we gaze upon this powerful image frozen in time at the Library of Congress' Congressional Library collection, we are reminded of Gordon Parks' exceptional ability to capture both beauty and truth through his lens.
