Jack Delano Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1941 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) This photo was published around 42 years before the publication of the novel 'The Color Purple'. The picture includes a church and a few black people standing in front of it next to a motor car on a road. The church is simple and resembles the architecture of a basic house. This can be connected to the story as Celie attends a black church in her area Georgia, where the picture is from. The Church is one of the most significant places in the novel. Early in the story, Celie used to attend church on a regular basis and continued to do so. The Church seems to provide order in the mostly chaotic atmosphere in the story; when Mr. Albert tries to rape Nettie, she runs to the reverend for shelter. It is also the focal point in the community - townsfolk gather here to offer their prayers. When Celie becomes pregnant, the people inside the church do not speak to Celie. Later in the story, when Shug and Celie talk about the people in the church and their perception of God, Shug tells Celie that even though people come to church hoping to find God, they really share God between each other since God lives inside people. This conversation really influences Celie as her perception of God slowly starts to change after this. Contributor The name of the person who obtained, uploaded, and described the item.

But for its unfortunate location, nearly a mile from Broadway, it would be one of the most successful establishments in the city. The theatre is divided into two buildings, one fronting on the Eighth avenue and Twenty-third street, and containing the offices and entrances, and the theatre proper, which is in the rear of the former. The former building is a magnificent structure of white marble, in the Italian style of architecture. It fronts 113 feet on Eighth avenue, and 98 feet on Twenty-third street. It is adorned with statuary and carvings, and is far too handsome for the part of the city in which it is located. The greater portion of this p. 475building is taken up with the offices of the Erie Railway Company. The theatre proper is connected with the front building by means of a superb vestibule, into which open the doors of the auditorium. It is one of the most beautiful halls in America, and one of the pleasantest lounging places. The auditorium is finished in light blue, white, and gold, and when lighted up is magnificent. Every appointment and decoration is tasteful and beautiful, and there are many persons who consider it the finest interior in America. The stage is large and convenient, and the scenery good. The performances are passable. The house was built by Mr. Samuel N. Pike for an Opera House. It was not successful, and was sold by him to the late Colonel James Fisk, Jr., for $1,000,000, a slight advance upon its cost."

From this source, George Washington is describing his thoughts of soldiers’ wives as camp followers, most likely, ones of those soldiers in the American Revolution. This gives an interesting opinion of an army general and provides insight to what the general public’s opinion may have been at this time about camp followers.

Monroe Date The date the document or image was originally published or created, in YYYY-MM-DD format (see fields guide for further details) 1983-12-01 Description Describe key features of the primary source and how they help to answer the research question at hand (usually the significance of a space or place to a text and/or its author or readers) In The Color Purple, Nettie writes to Celie about her brief time spent in Harlem, New York City. She describes the fashion, the people, the churches, and the beautiful city lights and the culture all around her. Compared to the oppressive south, Harlem was like a booming city within New York City for African Americans to explore and embrace and celebrate their culture. This article, “The Harlem Little Theatre Movement,” was written in the early 1980’s and focused on the music, dance, and theater culture of the people living in Harlem through the start and end of the 1920’s. It gives a great insight to the types of plays performed, the music used, and the rise and fall of particular theater shows and why, as well as how this decade of black culture theater influenced theater that included and incorporated African Americans in the 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s. Walker, only having the capabilities to a limited amount of resources as she wrote her novel, could have come across an article such as this (as it was in the same time frame, although likely not during the years in which she spent actually writing The Color Purple), to understand the places and attitudes in which her character Nettie would confront as she traveled and wrote to Celie.

Steve Mentz states in his paper Toward a Blue Culture Studies: The emphasis here is on the ship as hubristic technology, its rigging no match for the alien world of the sea.

And it contains more Negroes to the square mile than any other spot on earth. A stranger who rides up magnificent Seventh Avenue on a bus or in an automobile must be struck with surprise at the transformation which takes place after he crosses One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street. Beginning there, the population suddenly darkens and he rides through twenty-five solid blocks where the passers-by, the shoppers, those sitting in restaurants, coming out of theaters, standing in doorways and looking out of windows are practically all Negroes; and then he emerges where the population as suddenly becomes white again”. The above description was taken from a document from 1926 describing what a tourist would see and experience if they had just come into Harlem (in the lat 1920s- early 1930s). There were shops galore, which churches, shops, theaters. This is what Nettie describes when she tells Celie about New York. New York was a hub if black culture at the time, where the black renaissance was taking place. For any negro wanting to be in the center of art and ‘culture’, this was the place to be. One the main points that the article made is that New York was changing, not in perspective of architecture, street names, or even more buildings, but in color. New York, especially Harlem, was now becoming a new location for black culture, something that was almost nonexistent before then. That was what was probably so exciting for Nettie, not only is she in a city (something she had never been too), but she was now in a place where the majority of the people were her ‘own color’. It’s also a good place for black missionaries- as the majority of people are black, and the idea of black church was growing.

The picture here depicts a casino in the appropriate time period, which was a major calling card of Monte Carlo, which was an activity Selden and Lily Bart surely were attracted to, as Monte Carlo was famous for being a large gambling area. Monte Carlo also being a “loose” place, and major vacation hub, could contribute to Lily Bart enjoying herself and the “beauty” that surrounded her in the begging of book 2, chapter 2. It also may have helped contribute to Bertha cheating on her husband, which led Bertha to start to lie and manipulate Lily Bart, eventually making her a scapegoat.

However, in the novel there is not an actual description of the Mayors house in Georgia, I think that this photograph is a good representation of what the Mayors house may have looked like. The downside of this photograph is that the house may be a little more fancy than what would have been expected from the time period of The Color Purple but it still represents a house fit for a Mayor.
