EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken by Gordon Parks in 1943, we are transported to Camp Nathan Hale in Southfields, New York. The image showcases the town crier, Danny Poocchiari, who stands proudly as he blows his trumpet to announce important news or events within the camp. Camp Nathan Hale was a place where children from different backgrounds were brought together and supported by the Methodist Camp Service. This integration of races during a time when equality was still a distant dream is truly remarkable. Parks' lens captures not only Danny's confident stance but also highlights the concept of interracial activities taking place at the camp. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when holiday camps were popular destinations for families seeking respite from their daily lives. It serves as a reminder that amidst societal challenges, moments of unity and joy can be found. Gordon Parks' skillful composition and use of black and white film negative add depth to this historic moment frozen in time. His work with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI) allowed him to document various aspects of American life during this pivotal decade. This photograph held at the Library of Congress is an invaluable piece showcasing both our country's heritage artistry and its journey towards racial integration.
