EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by the talented Gordon Parks in 1943, showcases a remarkable woman who claims to be 104 years old. Taken in Daytona Beach, Florida, this image offers a glimpse into the life of an African American centenarian during the mid-20th century. The elderly woman exudes wisdom and resilience as she stands proudly amidst her family members. Dressed in elegant attire with a fur-trimmed coat and dark glasses, she epitomizes timeless grace and sophistication. Her grandson lovingly gazes at her while wearing his own stylish hat, showcasing the bond between generations. Gordon Parks' expert composition highlights not only the subjects but also their surroundings. The rural backdrop suggests that this family may have lived on a farm or had ties to agricultural work. This connection is further emphasized by Parks' association with the Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), which aimed to document American life during this era. As we admire this extraordinary photograph from Heritage Images collection at the Library of Congress, it serves as a testament to both individual strength and collective heritage within African American communities. Through his lens, Gordon Parks immortalizes moments like these - capturing history for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
