EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Benjamin William Arnett (1853-1928), an African-American educator, minister, and bishop, in the year 1887. Arnett's life story is a testament to the resilience and determination of the African-American community during the 19th century in the United States. Arnett was born in Ohio and went on to become a prominent figure in the African-American community, serving as a teacher, minister, and bishop. He was a dedicated advocate for equal rights and human rights, working tirelessly to improve opportunities for African Americans in education and religion. The image of Arnett, taken in the late 19th century, is a powerful reminder of the cultural heritage and history of African Americans in the United States. The portrait, which is part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a valuable addition to the vast collection of African-American history and serves as an inspiration for future generations. Arnett's occupation as an educator and minister is evident in his dignified demeanor and the serious expression on his face. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer for the G.M. Rewell Company, is a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of preserving the history and heritage of all communities. Arnett's legacy continues to be celebrated as a symbol of progress and achievement, and his story serves as a reminder of the importance of fighting for equal rights and human dignity for all people, regardless of race or ethnicity.
