EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Allison in 1938, transports us back to the bustling streets of New York City. The image features a shoeshine man in Harlem, capturing a slice of daily life during this pivotal era. The shoeshine man stands proudly on an exterior street corner, his presence commanding attention amidst the vibrant cityscape. Dressed impeccably in his work attire, he exudes both professionalism and resilience. His African American heritage is evident through his dignified demeanor and strong facial features. Surrounded by a wooden fence adorned with various signs, the scene showcases the essence of early 20th-century New York City. The sign above him reads "Shoeshine" serving as a beacon for potential customers passing by. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history that permeates every inch of New York's streets. From its diverse population to its thriving neighborhoods like Harlem, each element contributes to the tapestry that makes up this iconic city.
