Journalist Ida Tarbell Went Up Against Rockefeller Himself
|
Bey wanted to see what all the fuss was about and maybe join the protesters, but the day he went, none showed up. So he went inside and saw the show. Seeing photos of ordinary African-Americans inside a museum was a revelation, and he started to think more seriously about photography and about wanting to show people in Harlem, where his mother and father had met.
“When I started out, I guess I wanted to make photographs that in some significant way contested some of the stereotypical notions of black urban communities like Harlem,” he said. “I probably would have said I wanted to make photographs that represented the people of Harlem in a more positive light.
“As I continued on, I couldn’t quite figure out what a positive light looked like. I eventually came to this notion of wanting to make an honest representation of everyday people in Harlem, and it allowed me to let go of the binary notion of positive and negative, and just try and describe clearly the people in front of me and not put them in a box, and I realized that was enough.”
