N2  - Step inside a bygone era: ladies in strapless gowns, smartly draped in furs; accompanied by men with pencil moustaches who are dressed to the nines. On Chicago's South Side in the 1940s and '50s, in the African-American enclave known as Bronzeville, such tableaux were commonplace. And Samuel "Lonnie" Simmons, a jazz musician and photographer, left behind a collection of more than eight hundred photographs now seen by the broad public for the first time. His images record a time and place that was systematically destroyed more than half a century ago. Dubin puts the photographs-- and the life of the photographer-- in context. -- adapted from pages 13-28
