EDITORS COMMENTS
This black-and-white photograph captures Westley Williams, a man of the 1920s whose story remains unknown. Standing confidently in front of a dark-colored automobile, he exudes an air of professionalism and style. Dressed in a light-colored, long-sleeved button-down shirt with rolled-up sleeves, paired with light trousers and medium-colored shoes, his attire reflects the fashion trends of the era. A tie tucked neatly between buttons on his shirt adds a touch of sophistication to his ensemble. In his left shirt pocket rests an indistinguishable item that piques curiosity about its significance. With arms calmly positioned by his sides, Westley stands outside a brick building adorned with two signs. The top sign proudly displays "BERRY S/ SERVICE STATION" while the bottom sign advertises services such as washing, storage, and greasing. This setting suggests that Westley is employed at this establishment—a gas station or garage—where he fulfills the role of pump attendant or perhaps holds another occupation within the automotive industry. Although we may not know much about Westley's personal history or aspirations, this photographic print serves as a testament to African American heritage during this transformative period in American history. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it offers us glimpses into untold stories and reminds us to honor those who have contributed to our nation's progress. As we admire this vintage portrait captured through photographic gelatin and silver on photographic paper, let us reflect upon how individuals like Westley played vital roles in shaping our country's transportation industry while overcoming adversity during an era marked by racial inequality.
