EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Formal class in liberal arts and sciences at Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va." was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in either 1899 or 1900. The image offers a glimpse into the rich educational history of Hampton Institute, located in Hampton, Virginia, United States of America. The black-and-white photograph portrays a group of students and educators engaged in a clay modeling lesson. The classroom setting is adorned with an easel and a blackboard displaying the subject matter, adding to the scholarly atmosphere. The students, both male and female, are intently focused on their tasks, displaying a palpable sense of dedication and determination. The teacher, an esteemed educator, oversees the class with a watchful eye and a calm demeanor. Hampton Institute, originally known as Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was a pioneering institution in the United States, dedicated to providing education to African Americans. Founded in 1868, it was one of the first colleges in the country to offer higher education to African Americans. The liberal arts and sciences curriculum, as depicted in this photograph, was a significant component of the institution's mission to provide a well-rounded education to its students. This photograph is a testament to the importance of education and the progress made in the late 19th century towards racial equality in America. It is an invaluable piece of history, preserved by the Library of Congress and a reminder of the heritage and legacy of Hampton Institute.
