EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Dorothea Lange in July 1939, transports us back to a simpler time in Gordonton, North Carolina. The image captures a group of African American men leisurely sitting on the porch of a country store, while the owner's brother stands proudly in the doorway. It is a Sunday afternoon, evident from the relaxed atmosphere that surrounds them. The scene is adorned with elements that reflect both rural life and early commerce. On one side of the porch stands a kerosene pump, symbolizing the reliance on this fuel for daily needs. On the other side stands a gasoline pump, representing progress and modernity creeping into this quaint town. Wooden signs advertising popular brands like Coca-Cola and Chesterfield hang above them, reminding us of their presence even in such remote places. This country store served as more than just a place to buy groceries; it was also an essential gathering spot for community members to connect and exchange stories. Dorothea Lange's lens beautifully captures not only these physical details but also reveals glimpses into social dynamics during this era. The juxtaposition between Caucasian ownership and African American customers highlights racial divisions prevalent at that time. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how historical photographs can transport us to different periods while offering insights into societal norms and struggles faced by individuals during moments like these.
