EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Confederate Reunion - Human Flag On Monument Grounds, 1917," captures a unique moment in American history as people come together to pay tribute to their past. Taken by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, the image was captured on the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C. The scene is filled with a sense of nostalgia and unity as a large crowd gathers, forming the stars and stripes of the American flag with their bodies. The use of cardboard stars adds a charming touch to the image, highlighting the meticulous planning and dedication of those involved. The turn of the 20th century saw a renewed interest in the American Civil War and its legacy. This reunion may have been an opportunity for former Confederate soldiers and their families to come together and reflect on the past, demonstrating the healing power of time and the enduring spirit of patriotism. The photograph also serves as a snapshot of the era, with the Washington Monument standing tall in the background and automobiles visible in the foreground, symbolizing the progress and modernization of the country. The diverse group of people, both men and women, young and old, underscores the importance of this moment in bringing the nation together. This powerful image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the human capacity for reconciliation and the enduring significance of our shared history.
