Sess’ restaurant, which was located at 1639 Division Street in Old West Baltimore, was arguably the top Black restaurant of the Jim Crow era. This image was from an ad in the AFRO (circa 1945). According to historian Philip Merrill, “They kept an ad in the Afro and the commercial image of their restaurant was captured by black photographer, E Victor Wright Studio of Old West Baltimore.” (Courtesy Nanny Jack & Company)
