EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time at Pleasant Green School, a one-room schoolhouse that was renowned as one of the finest African American schools in the County. Taken by Lewis Hine on October 6,1921, this image showcases a group of children who were not only students but also Agricultural Club workers from Marlinton, West Virginia. The sepia-toned print exudes an air of nostalgia and history as it transports us back to an era marked by segregation and racial inequality. The solemn expressions on the children's faces hint at the challenges they faced in their pursuit of education during a time when Jim Crow laws enforced racial discrimination. Despite these obstacles, Pleasant Green School stood tall as a beacon of hope for African American students seeking knowledge and empowerment. This humble one-room schoolhouse served as more than just an educational institution; it fostered community spirit and resilience among its pupils. Lewis Hine's lens beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable place where dreams were nurtured against all odds. As we gaze upon this photograph today, let us remember those who fought tirelessly for equal opportunities in education and honor the legacy left behind by institutions like Pleasant Green School.
