For the two Black photographers of different generations, it would be a shared experience. Mr. Reed, who lives in Austin, had been to Houston earlier in the year to photograph Mr. Floyd’s funeral. Mr. Deal grew up in the Third Ward and has photographed the neighborhood for years.

Mr. Reed: Driving to Houston to cover the 2020 election felt like so many other stories that I have covered as a photojournalist over many years. I did my best to keep my mind open and free of presupposed images that would color the realities of the place and time. There was an obvious nervous tension in the Houston air that was likely felt in towns all over the country. A moment of calm before a possible storm. Eli Reed/Magnum, for The New York Times Eli Reed/Magnum, for The New York Times Colby and I took a ride and witnessed enough people on the Third Ward streets going about their normal business. I had a thought that whatever was to happen because of election results were perhaps not as bad as what African-Americans could be exposed to leaving their homes or even when within their respective abodes.

There were two places that were of a particular interest. One was a boxing gym and the other was a planned election night party for the Harris County School Trustee candidate David W. Brown. Mr. Brown won his race. Eli Reed/Magnum, for The New York Times I photographed a 12-year old girl who was leaning on a metal fence with her small dog nearby, with some election signs behind her in the front yard backing the Democratic presidential candidates and a member of her family. Her name is Macauley Miles. Boris Miles won his election for the State Senate in District 13.

They have intensive workouts for youth of different ages and for young adults serious about boxing. A match between Brittany Edwards, who is African-American, and Sara Shirdon, who is white and a student at Texas Southern University (in the Third Ward), was very intense. Coaches gave encouragement to both fighters.

Eli Reed/Magnum, for The New York Times Mr. Deal: Eli and I went straight to the streets before it got too dark, which is my favorite time to shoot. He immediately started to see things and started to snap. We went to visit a friend I photographed years ago, Miss Shirley. She wasn’t on her porch that evening, but we found a young gentleman barber, cutting the hair of a teenager in a chair in the middle the street and off Eli went. I wanted to concentrate on the people of the community, the people these political parties tend to forget about. Claudia Carletto spoke about the meaning of her vote. “I always vote to uphold my family legacy: past, present and future. In honor of my Mother and my Son, my votes will dismantle this system that does not honor our legacy.”Colby Deal/Magnum, for The New York Times Left: J.L., who declined to give his full name, said, “Voting was never an issue to me because the experiences and conditions I witnessed never changed for us as Black people, but we were constantly promised they would.” Right: Edith, who did not give her last name, said, voting is “a privilege that we have that was earned, that was fought for, and we need to show our appreciation and honor to those whose shoulders we are standing on.”Colby Deal/Magnum, for The New York Times Asada, left, who did not give her last name, and her son, Malik: “We have a lot of work to do as a collective. We need collective consciousness and collective unity to figure out that we can work the system or create a whole new system that will change” things for us, she said.Colby Deal/Magnum, for The New York Times Colby Deal/Magnum, for The New York Times EDITOR’S PICKS We publish many articles that touch on race and ethnicity.
