EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Gordon Parks in 1943, we are introduced to Mr. Lewis Traver, the dedicated director of Camp Nathan Hale in Southfields, New York. The image captures a moment of interracial activities at the camp, where children from different backgrounds come together under the guidance of the Methodist Camp Service. Mr. Traver stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of equality and integration that defines this remarkable holiday camp. As director, he plays a vital role in fostering an environment where young minds can learn and grow without prejudice or discrimination. The image itself is a testament to Parks' exceptional talent as a photographer during his time with the Farm Security Administration (FSA). Through his lens, he expertly captures not only Mr. Traver's strong presence but also conveys a sense of unity among those who gather at Camp Nathan Hale. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of America's journey towards racial harmony during the 1940s. It represents hope for a future where people from all walks of life can come together to celebrate their shared humanity. As we gaze upon this timeless portrait captured on film negative by Gordon Parks, we are transported back to an era when individuals like Mr. Lewis Traver played pivotal roles in shaping our nation's history – reminding us that progress is possible when hearts and minds unite for a common purpose.
