EDITORS COMMENTS
A Class in Cooking, E. T. I. School, 1903" is a captivating photograph that offers a glimpse into the past of African American education during the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a group of young women seated at long tables in a brightly lit kitchen at the E. T. I. School in Salisbury, North Carolina, United States. Established in 1891, the E. T. I. School, also known as the Evangelical and Theological Institute, was a historically black college affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. This photograph, taken in 1903, shows a class in the school's home economics department, where students were trained in practical skills for running a household, including cooking. The young women in the photograph wear simple, high-collared blouses and long skirts, their faces focused intently on their tasks. They appear to be engaged in a cooking lesson, with one woman demonstrating a recipe to her classmates. The kitchen is well-equipped with modern appliances for the time, including a large stove, a sink, and a refrigerator. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a valuable reminder of the importance of education and the role of historically black colleges in shaping the lives of African Americans during a time of significant social and economic change in the United States. The image also highlights the enduring legacy of home economics education and the importance of practical skills in daily life. Overall, "A Class in Cooking, E. T. I. School, 1903" is a poignant and evocative image that captures the spirit of a bygone era and the resilience and determination of the young women who attended the E. T. I. School.
