EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Warren C. Coleman, a prominent figure in American history during the late 19th century. Captured by an anonymous American photographer, this portrait immortalizes Coleman's significant role as the secretary, treasurer, and manager of the groundbreaking Coleman Manufacturing Company. Established between 1899 and 1904 in Concord, North Carolina, the Coleman Manufacturing Company holds a remarkable distinction - it was the first cotton mill in the United States owned and operated by African Americans. This photograph serves as a testament to their pioneering spirit and resilience. Warren C. Coleman himself exudes confidence and determination through his piercing gaze. His beard and mustache add an air of wisdom to his countenance while reflecting his dedication to hard work within the cotton mill industry. As we delve into this historic image, we are transported back in time to witness not only one man's journey but also a pivotal moment for African American entrepreneurship. The significance of this photo lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to shed light on forgotten narratives that have shaped our nation's past. Now preserved within a private collection, this extraordinary piece offers us an opportunity to honor those who defied societal norms and paved new paths towards progress.
