EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1920s, depicts A.J. Carey, Jr. holding the first prize check awarded to him by The Chicago Daily News. Carey, an African American lawyer and civil rights activist, is known for his significant contributions to the legal and political landscape of America during the 20th century. The image captures Carey's direct gaze, conveying a sense of determination and resolve. He is dressed formally, with a crisp shirt, tie, and jacket, and holds the check with a firm yet gentle grip. The lettering on the check is clear and precise, with the amount of $1,000 neatly written in bold numbers. The background of the photograph is simple, with a plain wall and a letterbox format that adds to the vintage feel of the image. Carey's posture and expression suggest a man who has achieved something important, yet remains focused on the work ahead. This photograph is a testament to Carey's activism and his role as a pioneering figure in the civil rights movement. It is a reminder of the struggles and triumphs of the past and the enduring legacy of those who fought for equality and justice in America. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division of the New York Public Library, and is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, illustrations, or portraits of significant figures in American history.
