Vibrant Life Of 1970s Harlem In Street Photos By
Jack Garofalo
The 1970s had a unique vitality and aesthetic
imprint unlike any other decade before or since.
Jack Garofalo (1923-2004), an accomplished street
photographer for Paris Match magazine, spent the
summer of 1970 documenting the vibrant life of
Harlem, a neighborhood that was undergoing an
existential crisis at the time. Harlem in the
1970s was undergoing an exodus, as anyone who
could was moving to other neighborhoods in New
York to escape the neighborhoods poor
infrastructure and crime. Some stayed because
they couldnt move out, while others stayed
because they wanted to. But despite the
difficulties, the neighborhood was an undeniably
vibrant place. Garofalos photos are like a time
machine, taking you back to a place and time that
youve never seen and never will (unless you were
there, too). Take a look!
