EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, an African American religious leader and editor, taken in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1902. The photograph captures Tanner in formal attire, wearing a dark coat and dress pants, a crisp white shirt, and a dark bow tie. He is also sporting a full beard, which was a common fashion among men of the time. Tanner's gaze is directed away from the camera, giving the portrait an introspective and thoughtful feel. Bishop Tanner was a significant figure in the African American community during the early 20th century. He was a prominent clergyman in the Episcopal Church and served as the first black bishop in the denomination. Tanner was also an editor and publisher, working for the J.L. Nichols Company in New York City, which published the African Methodist Episcopal Church's official newspaper, "The Christian Recorder." This photograph is a valuable historical artifact that offers insight into the fashion and style of the early 1900s, as well as the life of an influential African American leader. The image is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and contributions of African Americans to American history and culture.
