EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of African American chorus girls in the vibrant neighborhood of Harlem, New York. Taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the beauty and talent of these women who were part of the entertainment industry during that time. The photograph is believed to have been featured in a publication called "Women of all Lands, Their Charm, Culture and Characteristics" edited by Rosita Forbes in 1935. It symbolizes not only the artistic prowess of these performers but also their contribution to social progress and liberation for African Americans in twentieth-century America. Dressed impeccably in row costumes, these talented entertainers exude grace and confidence as they take center stage. They are dancers, singers, and performers who captivate audiences with their skills. This image serves as a testament to their resilience and determination to succeed despite facing discrimination during an era marked by racial segregation. Harlem itself has always been synonymous with cultural vibrancy and creativity within the United States. The district became a hub for African American artistry during this period, fostering talents like Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, among others. As we admire this historic photograph today from our modern perspective on equality and diversity, it reminds us of how far society has come while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving true inclusivity for all individuals regardless of race or background.
