EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a geography lesson at Hampton Institute. The image showcases a diverse group of African American men and women engaged in an outdoor class on lumber and coal. The students, dressed in their formal attire, attentively listen to their teacher as they learn about the importance of these natural resources. The backdrop of the photograph reveals the beautiful exterior of Hampton Institute, located in Virginia's southeastern region. Photographed by Frances Benjamin Johnston, this snapshot perfectly encapsulates the turn of the century educational experience for African Americans seeking vocational training at this prestigious university. Hampton Institute played a crucial role in empowering individuals from marginalized communities by providing them with practical skills that would enable them to thrive economically. This photograph serves as a testament to their determination and resilience. As we gaze upon this historical moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the significance of education as a tool for progress and social change. It is through institutions like Hampton Institute that barriers were broken down and opportunities were created for generations to come. Let this powerful image serve as an inspiration for all those who strive towards knowledge and equality, reminding us that education has always been key to unlocking doors previously closed off due to prejudice or discrimination.
