SUNDAY MORNING, 1940 - A Glimpse into African American Childhood in Durham
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a serene Sunday morning scene in the year 1940. On a porch in Durham, North Carolina, a group of African American children are engrossed in reading the Sunday comics. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of daily life during this era. Taken by photographer Jack Delano in May 1940 as part of his documentation for the Farm Security Administration (FSA), this picture offers an intimate glimpse into rural Southeastern America during the Great Depression and New Deal era. It showcases not only the leisurely activities enjoyed by young individuals but also highlights their pursuit of literacy despite challenging circumstances. The children's faces radiate with joy and curiosity as they immerse themselves in these comic strips, momentarily escaping from their surroundings. Their modest house stands tall behind them, serving as a reminder of resilience amidst adversity. Delano's lens skillfully captures both innocence and determination within this mid-century snapshot. The composition invites viewers to reflect on how access to education and literature can empower marginalized communities even during difficult times. As we gaze upon this timeless image today, it serves as a poignant reminder that every child deserves equal opportunities to explore their imagination through reading – regardless of race or background.
