EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: MINSTRELS, 1916. Working Boys Glee Club and Minstrel Group, Fall River, Massachusetts" captures a significant moment in early American entertainment history. Taken by the renowned photographer Lewis Hine in 1916, this image showcases a group of talented African American men and one woman standing proudly as they prepare to perform. The photo depicts members of the Working Boys Glee Club and Minstrel Group from Fall River, Massachusetts. Dressed in traditional minstrel attire with blackface makeup and bow ties, these performers were part of a popular form of entertainment during that era. Despite the controversial nature of blackface performances today, it is important to acknowledge their historical significance within the context of early 20th-century America. Lewis Hine's skilled composition highlights each individual's unique personality while also capturing the unity among them as a group. The serious expressions on their faces suggest their dedication to their craft and commitment to delivering an exceptional performance for their audience. This powerful portrait offers us a glimpse into North American society at that time - showcasing both the challenges faced by African Americans in pursuing artistic careers and celebrating their resilience in overcoming those obstacles. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then while also acknowledging the progress yet to be made towards equality for all individuals regardless of race or background.
