Artist's Description
Jitterbugging in juke joint, Memphis, Tennessee. Juke joint is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring music, dancing, gambling, and drinking, primarily operated by African-Americans in the southeastern United States. Plantation workers and sharecroppers needed a place to relax and socialize following a hard week, particularly since they were barred from most white establishments by Jim Crow laws. The jitterbug is a kind of dance popularized among African-Americans in the US in the early 20th century, and is associated with various types of swing dances. Marion Post Wolcott, 1939 (cropped and cleaned).
