Negro War Worker Photographs from "Negroes and the War."
Striking photographs of African-American history, circa 1930’s to 1940’s, from two joined sources, that of photographer Howard Liberman, who shuttered the black WWII worker, and the organization he worked for, the U.S. government’s Farm Security Administration (FSA) documentary project - a governmental undertaking that spanned from 1935 -1943 and could broadly be seen as a New Deal photographic essay of African-American life in America. Using these images, the Office of War put out an information booklet entitled, “Negroes and the War” (1942), from which these photos come. Artistically, these 8x10’s are beautiful, and culturally they offer a snapshot of the individual lives of Depression-era and WWII-era African-Americans in the United States. On verso is Examiner stamp (Jan.16, 1943), production markings, and paragraphed photo descriptions. All (11) are in good shape, and are very rich in history. Also included is a soft-covered booklet, "The Negro War Worker in San Francisco - A local self-survey", issued May, 1944. Cover has production note, and Examiner stamp, but, despite these markings, the book itself is in fine shape, filled with lots of statistics and information.
