EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Delivery Boys, 1941" takes us back to a bustling street in Chicago, Illinois. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Russell Lee in April 1941, we see a group of young African American delivery boys eagerly waiting outside the A&P supermarket for customers. The image exudes an air of youthful energy as these adolescent boys stand proudly with their caps on and carts at the ready. Their presence adds vibrancy to the cityscape, showcasing the diversity that was integral to Chicago's identity even during those early years. Lee's photograph beautifully captures the essence of urban life during this era - a time when grocery deliveries were still made manually rather than relying on modern technology. The mid-century automobiles parked nearby serve as a reminder of how far we have come since then. Taken under the auspices of FSA (Farm Security Administration) as part of President Roosevelt's New Deal program, this photo not only documents daily life but also stands as a testament to historical significance. It is through such images that we gain insight into our past and appreciate how different aspects of society have evolved over time. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece from Granger Art on Demand, let it transport you back to an era where hardworking young men played an essential role in ensuring groceries reached homes across Chicago's streets.
