EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1922, captures a moment at the Poro College Bath Department in the United States, specifically at a chiropody booth for foot treatment. The Poro College, an institution dedicated to the education and training of African American women, was a pioneering force in the beauty industry during the 1920s. The young woman in this image, dressed in a simple yet elegant dress, sits comfortably in the chiropody booth, her feet resting in a basin filled with water. A chiropodist, dressed in a professional white uniform, attends to her feet with a focused expression. The warm, inviting interior of the bath department is filled with natural light, creating an atmosphere of relaxation and rejuvenation. The Poro College, founded by Madame C.J. Walker, was a trailblazing institution that provided opportunities for African American women during a time when access to education and employment were limited. The college offered a range of courses, including beauty culture, cosmetology, and chiropody, equipping its students with the skills and knowledge necessary to build successful careers. This photograph is a testament to the importance of the Poro College in the history of African American women's education, healthcare, and entrepreneurship. It also highlights the significance of the chiropody profession, which was an essential part of the beauty industry during the early 20th century. The image is a valuable addition to the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, a vital resource for scholars and researchers studying the history and culture of African Americans in the United States.
