Opera singers William Warfield and Leontyne Price, who were then starring in a production of Porgy and Bess, were married at the Abyssinian Baptist Church on August 3, 1952. Performing the ceremony is the Rev. David Nathaniel Licorish, with the attendants, William Holmes, Jr, left, and Urylee Leonardos, right, watching. The entire company came up from Washington, D.C., where the production was in its pre-Broadway tryouts, to attend the ceremony.

Salema porgy!

Also known by the name of dreamfish! This social species prefers a diet of seagrass and algae as an adult, but mainly hunts crustaceans when younger. This fish can contain toxins that cause LSD-like visual and auditory hallucinations in people lasting up to several days, but the exact causes for the toxicity or even what toxins cause this effect are not very well known.

Diahann Carroll (born Carol Diann Johnson; July 17, 1935 – October 4, 2019) was an American actress, singer, model, and activist. She rose to prominence in some of the earliest major studio films to feature black casts, including Carmen Jones (1954) and Porgy and Bess (1959). In 1962, Carroll won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, a first for an African-American woman, for her role in the Broadway musical No Strings. In 1974 she starred in Claudine alongside James Earl Jones for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Her title role in Julia, for which she received the 1968 Golden Globe Award for Best TV Star – Female, was the first series on American television to star a black woman in a non-stereotypical role, and was a milestone both in her career and the medium. In the 1980s, she played the role of Dominique Deveraux, a mixed-race diva, in the prime time soap opera Dynasty. Carroll was the recipient of numerous stage and screen nominations and awards, including her Tony Award in 1962, Golden Globe Award in 1968, and five Emmy Award nominations. She died on October 4, 2019, from breast cancer.

Chicagoans go about their business at the corner of State and Madison in 1959. Walgreens occupies the same site today, but many of the neon-signed shops and eateries have given way to retail chains. The Chicago Building on the far left is now a School of the Art Institute of Chicago residence hall. The historic McVickers Theater stands in the background, advertising Otto Preminger’s controversial film adaptation of Porgy and Bess (1959). In the early 21st century, an office building took its place.

48th Street west of Broadway, 1959. My Fair Lady is still packing them in, with Pamela Charles and Edward Mulhare in the leads, and the film version of Porgy and Bess is also a big attraction. On the Beach is also playing.
