EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Greensboro, Georgia, in either February 1926 or 1927, showcases a group of theological students dressed in formal attire, seated side by side on a bench. The exact number of students is uncertain, but they all exude a sense of focus and determination as they fold their arms across their chests. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage of African American education in the United States during the 1920s. The students' formal dress, consisting of suits and dresses, reflects the importance placed on appearance and presentation during this era. Their posture and position, with some leaning slightly forward, suggest a deep engagement with their studies. The photograph was taken at a time when access to higher education was limited for African Americans, making this group portrait all the more significant. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a renowned research institution at the New York Public Library. The image is a valuable addition to the library's extensive collection of historical photographs, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the experiences of African American students during the 1920s. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of these students, who pursued their education despite the challenges they faced. It serves as a reminder of the importance of education and the strides made towards equality and inclusion in American society.
