EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Edwin G. Walker, Esq., an African American attorney at law, posing formally in 1897. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the rich history of African American professionals during the 19th century in the United States. Edwin Garrison Walker wears an elegant, dark coat and dress pants, topped with a crisp, white shirt and a bow tie. His attire reflects the formal dress code of the time, emphasizing his professional status. Walker's coat features intricate engraving, adding a touch of sophistication and attention to detail. The portrait was likely taken in a studio setting, with Walker looking away from the camera, giving the image a thoughtful and introspective feel. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, housed within the New York Public Library. As a lawyer, Walker was a trailblazer for African Americans in the legal profession during a time when racial discrimination was rampant. His dedication and hard work paved the way for future generations of Black lawyers and lawmakers in the United States. This historic image serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of African Americans in the face of adversity and the significant impact they have had on American history.
