EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Class in Hygiene, Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. 1899 or 1900," is a captivating snapshot of a moment in history, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases a group of students, both male and female, seated in a classroom setting at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. The students appear engaged and attentive as they listen to a lecture delivered by an unseen instructor. The classroom is adorned with a large American flag and several smaller flags, proudly displaying the stars and stripes. The room is also filled with various educational materials, including a blackboard and a banner that reads "Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School." The scene takes place during the late 19th or early 20th century, a time when Hampton Institute was at the forefront of providing education and training to African American students in the United States. The focus on hygiene in the title suggests that this photograph may have been taken during a health or healthcare-related lesson. Frances Benjamin Johnston was a prolific photographer, known for her documentation of historic sites and buildings across the country. This photograph is part of her extensive collection held at the Library of Congress, providing a valuable record of American history and the educational experiences of African American students during this period. The image is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping the future of individuals and communities.
