EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful photograph, taken by Russell Lee in 1939, captures the harsh reality of segregation during the era of Jim Crow laws. The image showcases a segregated water fountain in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, serving as a stark reminder of the racial discrimination prevalent at that time. The scene depicts two separate drinking fountains labeled "White" and "Colored" clearly demarcating where individuals of different races were allowed to drink. This blatant segregation was not only legal but also enforced by these discriminatory laws. The African American man standing next to the colored water fountain holds a cup, patiently waiting his turn while white men casually drink from their designated cooler. The sign above serves as a painful reminder of the deep-rooted racism that permeated society during this period. Lee's photograph is part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) collection and reflects its mission to document social conditions across America during the Great Depression. It stands as evidence of both historical injustice and resilience within marginalized communities. Today, this image serves as an important visual artifact reminding us how far we have come in our fight for equality and justice. It prompts reflection on past struggles while reinforcing our commitment to creating a more inclusive future for all Americans.
