EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 1920s when a controversial event unfolded. The image captures the moment of a pastors' attack on one of America's most influential figures, John D. Rockefeller. Reverend Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calgary Baptist Church in Brooklyn, boldly proclaimed that "The Rockefeller money is the greatest curse that rests upon the Baptist denomination" during his impassioned address. As we gaze at this monochrome portrait of Mr. Rockefeller Junior, it becomes evident why he was both revered and criticized by society. His wealth and status made him a celebrity figure in American history, but also drew intense scrutiny from religious leaders like Rev. Dr. Straton. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the clash between immense riches and spiritual values during that era. It encapsulates an important moment in time when societal norms were being challenged by those who believed that great wealth could corrupt even the holiest institutions. While this image may not depict commercial use or highlight any specific company associated with Rockefeller's legacy, it offers us a glimpse into an intriguing chapter of American history through Europeana Photography archives courtesy of Central News agency.
