EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, taken in 1924, we see Daphne Jewell, a young white woman from the West, sitting on a grassy knoll with her cherished friend, Mombasa, a local Kenyan girl. The setting is the beautiful coastal city of Mombasa, located in the eastern part of Africa. The two friends, separated by racial and cultural differences, are united by the powerful bond of childhood friendship. Daphne, dressed in a simple white dress and straw hat, gazes warmly at her Rafiki, or "friend" in Swahili, as Mombasa playfully holds her hand. Mombasa, wearing a colorful traditional outfit, grins broadly, her eyes sparkling with joy. The sun-dappled scene exudes a sense of happiness and camaraderie, as the two girls share a moment of pure connection. The 1920s, also known as the "Roaring Twenties," was a time of great social and cultural change. This photograph, however, offers a poignant reminder of the universal language of friendship that transcends racial and cultural boundaries. The image also serves as a testament to the rich cultural exchange that can occur when people open their hearts and minds to one another. As we gaze upon this heartwarming photograph, we are reminded of the importance of embracing differences and fostering meaningful relationships with those from diverse backgrounds. Daphne and Mombasa's friendship stands as a powerful symbol of unity and understanding, and their smiles serve as a reminder that happiness knows no racial or cultural boundaries.
