About This Item

Archive of 12 W.W.II era photographs of Black servicemen in uniform and off-duty with their friends and spouses. Most photos are from 1944-45. Black and White or Sepia tone photographs ranging in size measuring about 7" x 5". These photos take place primarily at social occasions, often at a table at a night club or fancy restaurant, and captures African American men and women having dinners and fun with friends and family many of whom are military personnel in full uniform. They include 2 photos of a young black Navy sailor in uniform at a restaurant along with his family. Other pictures capture civilians in suits and ties, or Army soldiers in uniform with family and friends. Everyone is well dressed and many women are wearing hats as was the fashion in the 1940's. This archive was probably put together by an unnamed black woman who is also pictured along with different friends in many of the photos. One image is from a decade later and dated 1955, showing the same black couple who are now middle age. Most of the 1945 settings they are pictured in are integrated establishments and this archive came to us from Illinois. In very good condition overall.
