EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "MEMPHIS: BEALE ST. c1939" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Memphis, Tennessee during the early 20th century. The image captures a moment outside a billiard hall on Beale Street, a vibrant hub of African American culture and entertainment. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Marion Post Wolcott, we see a group of men gathered in front of the billiard hall's storefront window. They exude an air of confidence and camaraderie as they engage in conversation or perhaps plan their next game inside. Their presence adds life to the street scene, which is further enhanced by an array of eye-catching displays including billboards advertising various products and services. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the era's racial segregation with its mention of Jim Crow laws that enforced discrimination against Black Americans. Despite these oppressive circumstances, Beale Street remained an important center for African American social life and cultural expression. As part of the Farm Security Administration (FSA) project commissioned during President Roosevelt's New Deal program, Wolcott documented daily life across America through her lens. Her work aimed to shed light on social issues while capturing authentic moments from different regions. Preserved by the Library of Congress today, this historic print offers us a glimpse into Memphis' past—a testament to resilience and community spirit amidst adversity.
