EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Pan-American Midway Parade, 1901," was captured by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image depicts an enchanting procession of African participants during the Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York. The parade showcases a unique blend of culture and tradition as the participants proudly carry boats on their heads, showcasing their connection to the water and their homeland. The Pan-American Exposition was a significant event held in the United States to celebrate the progress and achievements of the Americas. The exposition attracted visitors from various countries, including Africa, and provided an opportunity for cultural exchange and showcasing the diversity of the continent. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished photographer, captured this moment in time with her camera, using the medium of cyanotypes between 1900 and 1910. The black and white image portrays the participants walking along an outdoor street, surrounded by buildings and structures that add to the rich architectural heritage of the exposition. The image is a testament to the spirit of unity and celebration that characterized the event. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's extensive collection of heritage art and serves as a reminder of the diverse and vibrant history of the Americas. The image is a poignant representation of the human spirit, resilience, and the ability to come together in the face of adversity and celebrate our differences.
