EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished visage of Reverend Daniel Alexander Payne, an influential figure in African American history. Born in 1811, Payne was a pioneering educator, clergyman, and author who rose to become the bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME). He was also one of the founders of Wilberforce University in Ohio, the first African-American institution of higher learning in the United States, and served as its first president. Payne's impressive accomplishments were not limited to the realm of education. He was a passionate advocate for equal rights and human dignity, using his platform as a religious leader to promote social justice and equality. Payne's commitment to these causes was evident in his writings, which included numerous articles and books on theology, education, and social issues. In this photograph, taken in 1887, Payne is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective man, with a serious expression and piercing gaze. He wears glasses and a suit and tie, giving him an air of authority and sophistication. The portrait is a testament to the remarkable achievements of this trailblazing figure, whose legacy continues to inspire generations. This photograph is from "Men of Mark: Eminent, Progressive and Rising," a collection of portraits of notable African Americans published in the late 19th century. It is now part of the vast and valuable collection of the New York Public Library.
