SynopsisAt the end of World War II New York City went through a period of transformation - loved ones were reunited and babies were born into a new era. African American soldiers who fought in the name of democracy demanded equal rights at home. Women left the factories and returned to the domestic front to raise children and cater to their husbands. Vivian Cherry charts this period with lively vignettes full of compassion and gritty street scenes exuding social conciousness., A monograph of black and white photography, that is equal parts history and art, 'Helluva Town' fuses gritty street scenes with warmth and gentleness to present lively vignettes and cityscapes.
