EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by the talented Eric Harlow, transports us back to a pivotal moment in history - the 1950s. In this thought-provoking image, we are presented with a split headshot portrait of two individuals; a black man and a white man. Their faces exude confidence and intelligence as they gaze directly into the camera. Published in the esteemed Daily Mirror on September 6th, 1958, this powerful photograph was chosen to accompany an enlightening series written by Keith Waterhouse on race in Britain and color prejudice. It serves as a visual representation of the racial dynamics prevalent during that era. The contrasting backgrounds of these two men symbolize their different experiences within British society at that time. Yet despite their differences, they stand united against racial discrimination. The black man dons an elegant bow tie while his white counterpart wears a smart tie - both showcasing their individuality while challenging stereotypes. Eric Harlow's lens captures not only their physical features but also conveys resilience and determination etched onto their faces. This striking portrayal challenges viewers to confront deeply ingrained prejudices and embrace unity amidst diversity. Decades may have passed since this photograph graced newspaper pages, but its message remains relevant today. It reminds us that true progress lies in acknowledging our shared humanity rather than focusing solely on skin color or background. Let this remarkable image serve as an enduring reminder of our collective responsibility to foster inclusivity
