EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Middleton's Up-to-date Market, Jacksonville, Fla. 1907," showcases a vibrant and bustling indoor marketplace located in Jacksonville, Florida during the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of African American communities in the United States. The market, operated by Hertel Jenkins & Co., is filled with a diverse crowd of men, each engaged in various activities. One man, dressed in a suit and hat, stands behind a counter, likely serving as the shopkeeper or owner. Two other men, both dressed in work clothes, are seen interacting with each other and the merchandise. The market appears to be well-stocked with a variety of goods, suggesting that it was a vital hub for trade and commerce in the community. The photograph, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, provides a valuable record of African American business ownership and entrepreneurship during this era. The image also highlights the importance of markets as community gathering places and the role they played in fostering social connections and economic opportunities for people of color. Despite the passage of time, this photograph continues to resonate with viewers, offering a window into the past and reminding us of the enduring strength and resilience of African American communities in the face of adversity.
