A couple having dinner at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. Chicago, IL. 1948. Photographed for an Ebony magazine story on light skinned African-Americans “passing” for white.
Wayne F. Miller’s photographs of “Black Life'' chronicle the south side of Chicago as thousands of African Americans, almost exclusively from the South, settled in the city during the Great Migration of the World War II years. Funded by two Guggenheim grants, and taken over three years beginning in 1946, these photographs capture the major industries and activities of the time, in addition to intimate moments in the daily lives of ordinary people. Many of these photographs were published in the book Chicago’s South Side.
