EDITORS COMMENTS
Anticipation and excitement fill the air as crowds gather in New York City to catch a glimpse of boxing legend Jack Johnson. The Galveston Giant's visit to Hammerstein's Theatre began on July 11, 1910, drawing throngs of fans eager to see the heavyweight champion up close. In this striking black-and-white photograph by Bain News Service, taken between c1910 and c1915, the energy is palpable as people from all walks of life wait patiently for Johnson's arrival. The scene is a testament to his enduring popularity during an era marked by racial segregation and discrimination under Jim Crow laws.
The image captures the fashion sense of the time, with men sporting boater hats and women dressed in stylish attire. Dogs are also present, adding to the lively atmosphere as people from all ages gather outside Hammerstein's Theatre. This historic photograph not only documents Johnson's visit but also provides a glimpse into life during this pivotal moment in American history.
