EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "NEW JERSEY: MINSTRELS" takes us back to July 1942, capturing a moment in history that showcases African American minstrels in their vibrant costumes. The photograph was taken by John Collier and depicts these talented musicians proudly advertising their show at an agricultural workers camp in Bridgeton, New Jersey. The image transports us to a time when entertainment played a vital role in bringing communities together. These men, with their musical talents and infectious energy, traveled through the North on an automobile transformed into a mobile stage. Their presence brought joy and excitement to those who eagerly awaited their performances. In this snapshot of America's past, we witness the resilience and creativity of African American artists during the mid-20th century. Despite facing numerous challenges and prejudices, they found ways to share their talents with audiences across the country. This photograph is not just about music; it represents hope and unity during a period marked by social change. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to transcend boundaries and bring people together. Granger Art on Demand presents this stunning piece from its collection, allowing us to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating the contributions made by African Americans towards shaping American culture.
