EDITORS COMMENTS
Bert Williams, the beloved and groundbreaking African American entertainer, poses confidently for this striking portrait taken in 1919. Williams, born in New Orleans in 1874, rose to fame as a vaudeville performer and later made a successful transition to the Broadway stage and the world of jazz and nightlife in New York City during the Roaring Twenties. Williams' unique comedic style, which often featured exaggerated facial expressions and mime, captivated audiences and paved the way for future African American performers. His signature act, "Mr. Lulu," featured him in drag as a sassy, flirtatious woman, challenging societal norms and pushing boundaries. This portrait captures Williams in the prime of his career, with a twinkle in his eye and a hint of a smile playing on his lips. He is dressed in a sharp suit and tie, exuding an air of sophistication and charm. The backdrop of the photograph is simple, allowing the focus to remain on Williams and his presence. The 1920s were a golden age for African American entertainment, and Williams was at the forefront of it all. He graced the stages of Broadway theaters and jazz clubs, bringing joy and laughter to audiences during a time of great social and cultural change. This portrait serves as a reminder of Williams' enduring legacy and his contributions to the world of entertainment. Bert Williams' influence can still be felt today, with his groundbreaking performances continuing to inspire and entertain generations of performers and fans alike.
