Print Date: 2007 Dimensions: 14 x 11 Photo Country: United States (USA) Photographer Country: United States (USA) Description: Henry Clay Anderson ran the Anderson Photo Service in Greenville, Mississippi from the late 1940s to the '60s, and during that time every aspect of African-American life came before his lens. Though highly segregated, Greenville was the site of a thriving middle-class, African-American community—an aspect of American life that is all-too-rarely documented. Pictured is a segregated water fountain—an all-too-common convenience of the era. However, through Anderson's eyes, it is the site of healthy social interaction. From a portfolio of 10 prints, printed in an edition of 10, posthumously from Anderson’s original negatives by Laurent Girard. Edition # 3 of 10. 1
