EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history as it showcases the trailblazing individuals who became the first African American senators and representatives in the United States Congress. Published in 1872, this lithograph by American School is a testament to progress and equality during a time of immense racial tension. The distinguished figures depicted here include Robert Carlos De Large, Jefferson Franklin Long, Hiram Rhodes Revels, Benjamin Sterling Turner, Josiah Thomas Walls, Joseph Hayne Rainey, and Robert Brown Elliot. Each one of these courageous men defied societal norms and overcame tremendous obstacles to hold positions of power within their respective states. Seated together with poise and determination on an ornate backdrop are these groundbreaking politicians from various Southern states such as Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi. Their bearded faces exude wisdom while their moustaches add an air of sophistication. This engraving beautifully portrays not only their individual achievements but also represents hope for future generations striving for equal representation. The vibrant colors used highlight their diverse backgrounds while symbolizing unity amidst diversity. As we reflect upon this historic image today through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing its essence perfectly; let us remember that progress is made possible when brave individuals challenge injustice head-on. These congressmen serve as an inspiration to all those fighting for justice and equality across North America.
