Untitled 1991

This black and white photograph, "Untitled" by Thomas Roma, captures a poignant moment within a Black church.

Another woman stands behind the boy, holding a cup, creating a composition that emphasizes faith, community, and the importance of tradition within the African American community. The photograph, taken in 1991, showcases Roma's mastery of documentary photography, providing a glimpse into the intimate rituals and emotional experiences of everyday life.
