EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Program for Coon Town Suffragettes, 1914. The four-page program showcases a silent short film that sheds light on the struggles and aspirations of African American women during the early 20th century. The first page features a powerful image of a woman standing atop a pedestal-like box, addressing an attentive crowd of women. Each woman holds up signs with bold messages such as "Make the men work" "Down with Gin" "Votes for Women" and "No More Work for Us". These placards symbolize their demands for gender equality and social change. The details provided below the photograph offer valuable insights into this historic event. Produced by United Lubin Manufacturing Company, this educational film aimed to shed light on political events and promote cultural heritage. It was directed by Arthur Douglas Hotaling, an influential figure in black cinema at that time. Preserved within the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this print serves as a testament to both the progress made towards equal rights and the challenges faced by African American suffragettes in America's past. Its black-and-white composition adds depth to its historical significance, emphasizing how far society has come since then. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us of our ongoing journey towards equality while honoring those who fought tirelessly for justice amidst adversity.
