EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1894, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in American history. The image showcases Jacob Coxey, a prominent protester and statesman of the late 19th century, flanked by his loyal followers Columbus Jones and Carl Browne. As they stride out of the Washington, D. C. district jail on June 10th after serving twenty days for trespassing, their determination is palpable. Coxey's army, as they were known, aimed to address unemployment issues during an era marked by economic turmoil. The trio's attire reflects the fashion trends of the turn of the century; Coxey dons a distinguished top hat while his companions sport cloth clothes befitting businessmen of that time. Their serious expressions hint at the weighty nature of their cause. This snapshot captures not only a group united by shared beliefs but also serves as a testament to civil disobedience during an era when social change was fervently sought after. It reminds us that even in times long past, individuals fought passionately for justice and equality. The historical significance emanating from this photograph is undeniable - it encapsulates both hope and defiance within its frame. As we gaze upon these determined faces frozen in time over a century ago, we cannot help but reflect on how far society has come since then while acknowledging that there is still much work left to do.
