Abstract

Langston Hughes Eslanda Goode Robeson and Louise Jefferson were three African American artists and activists united by common ideals: the power of visual culture the value of transatlantic connections and the advocation for greater freedoms for African Americans through art. Through the detailed examination of a single photographic object this article examines the role that photography played in cultivating interwar networks that were simultaneously intimate and global personal and public. This photograph evidences the strong transatlantic friendship between Hughes Robeson and Jefferson and demonstrates how Black women image-makers merged personal and professional space within their activism.
