EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899 or 1900, depicts a classroom scene at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. The Hampton Institute, also known as Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was a historically black college and a leading institution for the education of African Americans and Native Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this image, we see a group of male and female students, both African American and Indian, intently focused on their studies. They are seated in a classroom adorned with diagrams and maps, including one of ancient Egypt, reflecting the institute's commitment to a well-rounded education. The students appear engaged and attentive as they listen to their teacher, who is likely discussing the rich history and culture of Egypt. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education during a time when opportunities for African Americans and Native Americans were limited. It also showcases the influence of Ancient Egyptian history on American education during the late 19th century. The image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the heritage and history of the United States during the 1890s and 1900s. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the students, their teachers, and the institution that provided them with the tools to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
