EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history - the Senate Barber Shop in 1937. Three distinguished senators can be seen seated comfortably, receiving haircuts from skilled African American barbers. The setting is the Senate Office Building, located in the heart of Washington, D. C. The image exudes an air of elegance and professionalism as these influential men take a break from their political duties to indulge in some grooming. The barbers' expertise is evident as they meticulously trim and style each senator's hair with precision. The composition of the photo is striking, with a perfectly placed mirror reflecting both the senators and their dedicated barbers. A vintage lamp illuminates the scene while a fan provides relief from what was likely an early morning session on Capitol Hill. Notably, this image serves as a reminder that even during an era marked by racial segregation and discrimination, African Americans played crucial roles within prestigious institutions like the Senate. It symbolizes progress towards equality and showcases how talent transcends barriers. Photographed by Harris and Ewing in 1937, this print offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not only an ordinary day at the Senate Barber Shop but also highlighting important social dynamics that were prevalent at that time.
