EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, in 1905, offers a poignant glimpse into the past of a well-known neighborhood among charity workers. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, reveals a scene of hardship and poverty that was all too common during this era. The dilapidated houses and buildings, some with peeling paint and others in various stages of disrepair, line the narrow, unevenly paved street. Children and adults, both black and white, can be seen huddled together on the sidewalks and porches, their expressions conveying a sense of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the living conditions faced by many during the early 20th century in the United States. It is a testament to the struggle for basic necessities such as adequate housing and access to resources, which continues to be a pressing issue in many communities today. The image is particularly significant for its historical value, as it offers a unique perspective on the social and economic conditions of the time. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a renowned research institution of the New York Public Library. The Schomburg Center is dedicated to preserving and celebrating the history and culture of people of African descent, making this image an important addition to their collection. This photograph not only serves as a reminder of the past, but also as a call to action, inspiring us to continue the work of addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality in our communities.
