EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "WOMEN, c1899" captures a powerful moment in history. Nine African-American women are gracefully seated on the steps of Atlanta University in Georgia. The image, taken by renowned photographer Thomas E. Askew around the turn of the century, exudes an air of elegance and strength. Dressed impeccably in fashionable attire of the time, these women proudly showcase their individuality while representing a united front. Their poised demeanors reflect their determination to pursue education and break barriers during a challenging era for African-Americans. The backdrop of Atlanta University adds significance to this portrait as it was one of the few institutions that provided higher education opportunities for Black students at that time. This gathering symbolizes not only academic pursuits but also solidarity among these remarkable individuals who defied societal norms and fought for equal rights. Though their identities remain unidentified, their presence speaks volumes about resilience and empowerment within the African-American community. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the countless unsung heroes who paved the way for future generations. Granger Art on Demand presents this print as a testament to our shared history and celebrates these extraordinary women who played an integral role in shaping America's cultural landscape.
