Conversations

Here’s a selection of the conversations happening on these photos & illustrations:

Celia Coleman, Carman case (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  Celia Coleman was the maid who testified that she heard her employer Mrs. Edwin Carman confess to killing Lulu Bailey. Miss Coleman's intellectual capacity and memory were questioned on the stand--she was not able to add numbers or say how old she was, which was taken as reason to doubt her reliability as a witness on other matters.

• swanq said:

  Carman Case is news context, not a name.

• Mike said:

  A wonderful image!!

• Wystan said:

  The Carman murder scene, and other photos connected with the Carman drama:

• Arden said:

  Thanks for the additional information about this image of Celia Coleman and its connection to the trial of Mrs. Edwin Carman for the murder of Lulu Bailey. We will add more details when we update the database.

  I knew I had seen this picture before, then I looked at the photographer. Gordon Parks, can't get much better than that.

• TexKap said:

  His version of American Gothic. Great image and there is a wonderful story behind this if you watch his biography.

• Mark in NOVA said:

  Gordon Parks is my favorite photographer.

• Kristi (LOC P&P) said:

  TexKap and all: It is certainly a striking image, and one that is part of a larger series of images of Ella Watson taken by Gordon Parks over the course of nearly a month. The story behind the images is as interesting as the photos themselves. A bit about Mr. Parks, his work with the Farm Security Administration and specifically this series of images can be found here on the Library's website: Ella Watson, U.S. Government Charwoman, Photographer: Gordon Parks.
