EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of history from Bethune-Cookman University's White Hall, dating back to around 1916. The brick, showcased in the image, was once an integral part of this iconic structure located at the private historically black university in Daytona Beach, Florida. With its standard solid style and faint reddish color tinged with gray mortar residue, the brick exhibits a weathered and worn appearance on all sides. The irregularity in shape is noticeable due to a chunk of mortar affixed to the top side. This artifact stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage associated with African Americans and their pursuit of education during times marked by racial segregation. It symbolizes resilience and determination that paved the way for progress. Preserved within this photograph is not just an object but also memories of countless individuals who walked through those halls seeking knowledge and empowerment. As we observe this brick today, it serves as a reminder of how far our country has come in terms of equality and access to education. Displayed at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this heritage art represents more than just bricks; it represents hope, unity, and triumph over adversity. Let us honor those who came before us by cherishing these artifacts that tell stories beyond words can express.
