This print showcases a significant piece of musical history - the music stand used by the renowned African-American musician Ginger Smock in the late 20th century. Crafted by Belmonte, this black metal stand is a testament to both its functional design and cultural significance. The sturdy tripod base and adjustable music support with a small shelf make it an ideal companion for any performer. Embossed on the back of the support proudly displays the Belmonte company logo, symbolizing quality craftsmanship. The metal support also features plastic extensions above the shelf, each labeled "SNAP-OUTS" - perhaps indicating additional customizable features. Connecting the base and support is an adjustable central pole with locking screws, allowing musicians like Ginger Smock to find their desired height and stability during performances. Adding a personal touch, "GINGER" and "SHIPP" are written in white paint on different parts of this cherished artifact. As we delve into African-American heritage through this photograph, we recognize Ginger Smock's contribution to American music culture. This object stands as a reminder of her talent and dedication as she paved her way in an industry that was often discriminatory towards people of color. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this music stand serves as a powerful symbol representing not only individual achievements but also collective struggles faced by African-Americans throughout history. It embodies resilience, creativity, and triumph over adversity within America's rich cultural tapestry.
