| Hep cat on the town! 1940's |
Yeah, the styles worn in the 1940's said several things to different audiences. Back then Colored folk had to create, and define themselves in ways no longer relevant. The negotiations with manipulative forces constantly on the look out to rob Negroes of dignity, home, life, and status were continuous, varied, and colorful. The thing missing in this statue is color, but that doesn't matter. The artist captured the spirit of the times, the dance of their style, and the hipness of the couple glidin', profilin', and styling down the main strip!!! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 5.20.13
