Planning a Day of Inclusive Fun at Camp Gaylord White, Arden, New York, 1943
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph by Gordon Parks transports us back to the summer of 1943 in Arden, New York. The image captures a momentous occasion at Camp Gaylord White, where children from different racial backgrounds come together under the guidance of the Methodist Camp Service. In this particular scene, we witness an inspiring display of democracy as the diverse council gathers to plan a day filled with exciting activities. African American and Caucasian children can be seen side by side in front of a rustic log cabin - symbols of unity and equality amidst a divided world. Parks' lens beautifully encapsulates the essence of integration during this era. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece that showcases America's progress towards inclusivity. The image is part of Parks' extensive body of work for the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to capture slices of life across the country during World War II. As we gaze upon this powerful photograph today, it reminds us not only to appreciate how far we have come but also to continue striving for equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of their race or background. It stands as a testament to our collective responsibility in fostering harmony and embracing diversity within our communities.
