A black-and-white historical photograph of Jane Bolin, the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the United States. She is seated formally at a judge's bench, facing the camera with a calm and composed expression. Her dark hair is neatly styled and pulled back. She wears a short-sleeved, dark polka-dot dress with a V-neck collar. In her right hand, she holds a pen poised over a document on the desk, while her left arm rests beside it. A wooden gavel lies to her left on the bench. Behind her is a large, high-backed leather chair with studded trim, and the setting conveys the authority of a courtroom environment.
In 1939, Jane Bolin became the first Black woman to serve as a judge in the US.
Bolin was also the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School & to join the NYC Bar Association and the NYC Law Department. She was born #OTD in 1908.

A black & white vintage photo of a black man and woman, wearing fur coats. He sits in a shiny car while she stands beside him. A brownstone building in the background. From Charles Hagen, The New York Times, April 15, 1994: “VanDerZee, who died in 1983 at the age of 96, was the leading photographer in Harlem during its heyday, from World War I until the 1940's. Through the doors of VanDerZee's studio, situated first on West 135th Street and later on upper Seventh Avenue, passed a cross-section of Harlem society. His sitters included such celebrities as the Rev. Adam Clayton Powell Sr. and the dancer Bill (Bojangles) Robinson as well as a host of ordinary working men and women.” And from Gene Thornton, The New York Times, Feb. 26, 1984: ‘James Van Der Zee had two careers in photography. The first was as a neighborhood photographer in Harlem during the 1920's and 30's. The second, as a national photographic celebrity, lasted from 1969, when his work of the 20's and 30's was prominently featured in the exhibition ''Harlem on My Mind'' at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, until his death in 1983 at the age of 96.’
By African-American photographer James Van Der Zee (1886–1983), “Couple, Harlem,” 1932, gelatin silver print. As a photo it appears in collections both public & private. More info in ALT. #vintagephotography #BlackHistory #blackphotographer
