Susan Meiselas, Dee, JoJo. Frankie and Lisa after school on Prince Street. Little Italy, New York City, USA, 1976

When Susan Meiselas made Prince Street, Little Italy in 1976, she was teaching photography workshops on the side to support her early projects. Few know that many of the children she photographed in those years — including Dee, JoJo, Frankie, and Lisa — were growing up in a neighborhood already hollowed out by shifting immigration patterns: Italian families were moving to the suburbs, while Chinatown was beginning its rapid expansion. The photo preserves a fleeting moment when Prince Street was still a local hangout for second-generation Italian American kids, right before the demographic flip that transformed the block.
