#1 Colored Entrance, Alabama, 1956
This photo is both sad and beautiful. It is sad because it reminds you of when black people were segregated in many public spheres, and that included having a nice time at the movies.
But there is no denying the splendid dresses on these beautiful ladies and the sprawling street with the beautiful car makes you feel life was simpler then.
