EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 19th or early 20th century, presents a poignant moment in the history of Newport News, Virginia. The image depicts a lone African American man, his strong and weathered hands guiding a log from the water onto a saw mill ramp. The scene takes place at the bustling dockyard, where the sounds of saws and hammers echo through the air, and the scent of fresh timber fills the atmosphere. Newport News, a historic shipbuilding community, was a hub of industrial activity during this era. The lumber yard, teeming with logs and men, was a critical component of the shipbuilding process. The log, once secured on the ramp, would be transported to the sawmill to be transformed into planks used to construct the hulls of the mighty vessels that would soon set sail from this very dockyard. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of Newport News and the United States as a whole. It captures the essence of a bygone era, a time when the labor of men like this unnamed African American man was essential to the nation's economic growth. The photograph, now part of the Library of Congress's collection, stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit and the indelible mark it leaves on history.
