EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "CHICAGO: CHURCH, 1941" captures a poignant moment in the history of African American communities on the South Side of Chicago. Taken by photographer Edwin Rosskam in April 1941, it depicts a congregation gathered outside a church. The image showcases the diverse group of men and women dressed in fashionable attire from that era. The women don elegant hats, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. Meanwhile, the men sport suits and fedora hats, exuding a sense of style and confidence. The location itself holds significance as it is situated within Chicago's Black Belt neighborhood - an area predominantly inhabited by African Americans during this time period. This photo offers us a glimpse into their lives and highlights their strong sense of community. As we observe this crowd assembled outside the church, one can't help but feel drawn to their unity and shared purpose. It serves as a reminder that despite facing numerous challenges during this era marked by racial segregation and discrimination, these individuals found solace in faith and came together to support one another. Through Edwin Rosskam's lens, we are transported back to 1941 when this photograph was taken - capturing not just an ordinary moment but also documenting an important chapter in African American history.
