EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures the momentous Celebration of the Fifteenth Amendment on May 19,1870. The colour litho, created by American School in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal event in American history. The image depicts a joyous scene filled with an array of diverse individuals united in celebration. A large crowd gathers, waving flags high above their heads as they cheer for this significant milestone. Amongst them are leaders from various backgrounds, both male and female, including African Americans who had long fought for their right to vote. A lively band plays music that fills the air while drummers set a rhythmic beat that resonates throughout the procession. Abraham Lincoln's presence is felt through portraits carried by horsemen riding proudly alongside soldiers and officers. The horses add an element of power and grace to this scene of equality and change. They symbolize not only freedom but also serve as a reminder of America's agricultural roots. This photograph immortalizes a transformative moment when the Fifteenth Amendment was ratified into law, ensuring that voting rights could no longer be denied based on race or previous servitude. It stands as a testament to progress and unity within North America during this era. Displayed proudly at New York Public Library, USA; it serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in our ongoing pursuit of equal rights for all citizens regardless of their background or ethnicity.
