EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1868 in Mobile, Alabama. The image showcases the impressive exterior of Emerson College, a freedmen's preparatory school that played a crucial role in shaping the lives of African Americans during this transformative period in American history. The wood engraving beautifully captures the architectural details of the building, highlighting its grandeur and significance as an educational institution for freed slaves. Standing tall behind a sturdy fence, Emerson College symbolizes hope and progress for those seeking knowledge and empowerment. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the immense challenges faced by African Americans at that time. The establishment of schools like Emerson College was made possible through the efforts of organizations such as the Freedmen's Bureau, which aimed to provide education opportunities to formerly enslaved individuals. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come since then while also acknowledging how much work remains to be done towards achieving equality and justice for all. It stands as a testament to resilience, determination, and triumph over adversity – qualities embodied by both those who built Emerson College and those who continue their legacy today.
