About the Item
This black and white photograph depicts a Black girls' team in the urban city of Philadelphia practicing the art of Double-Dutch jump rope. This series of images provide a snapshot of the Diamonettes, a gravity-defying Double-Dutch team from North Philadelphia whose ages range from grade-school girls to teenagers. The team carries this enduring legacy of Black girlhood. This series was originally published in the Philadelphia Inquirer on May 15, 1988.
This photograph is sold individually, but other available photographs in the series are also posted in this listing. I will combine shipping for multiple purchases within this series.
