EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HAMPTON GRADUATE, 1900" takes us back to the turn of the century in Hampton, Virginia. The image showcases a proud African American graduate standing on the porch of his home, which is located near the esteemed Hampton Institute. The photograph was expertly captured by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1900, who skillfully portrays not only the individual but also provides a glimpse into their family life. The building itself exudes an air of elegance with its veranda and intricate architectural details. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when education for African Americans was still a rare opportunity. The Hampton Institute played a crucial role in providing higher education to Black students during this era. The image encapsulates both personal achievement and community progress as it symbolizes hope and resilience against societal barriers faced by people of color at that time. Through this powerful visual narrative, Johnston immortalizes an important moment in American history - one that celebrates academic success within an environment where educational opportunities were limited for marginalized communities. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come while acknowledging the struggles endured by those who paved the way for future generations.
