Title: Come Sunday Photographs by Thomas Roma
Description: New York, The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), 1996. Hardcover. Violet cloth with illustrated dustjacket with BW printed photograph on front. 112 pp. with 87 bw photographs. In 1990 Thomas Roma began a series of photographs of houses of worship in Brooklyn, once called the "City of Churches." The project was decisively changed when the pastor of a black Christian congregation invited Roma instead to photograph the Sunday service itself. Over the next three years Roma made pictures of more than one hundred and fifty services in fifty-two black Christian churches in Brooklyn - a year of Sundays. Come Sunday presents a generous selection of those pictures. An essay by Henry Louis Gates, Jr. introduces the photographs by exploring the many dimensions of "The Church" in African American life, history, and culture. VG+ .
