Capturing History - The Girls of Booker Washington School with Mrs. McKinley
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 19th century, where African-American students from Tuskegee, Alabama proudly march through the streets in a grand procession. Flanked by enthusiastic crowds, these girls represent hope and determination in their pursuit of education at the renowned Booker Washington School. In this historic image, we see First Lady Ida McKinley seated gracefully in a carriage that lines the street. Her presence adds significance to this momentous occasion, highlighting her support for equal educational opportunities for all Americans. The background showcases a magnificent arch adorned with streamers and American flags, symbolizing unity and patriotism. This powerful visual reinforces the importance of education as an integral part of our country's heritage. Underwood & Underwood Strohmeyer & Wyman skillfully captured this scene on albumen sodium chloride and silver nitrate photographic paper and cardboard. Their expertise brings depth to every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this significant historical event. As we admire this black-and-white photograph, let it serve as a reminder of how far we have come in our fight for civil rights and equality. It stands as a testament to the resilience and strength of those who paved the way for future generations at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University). Displayed proudly within museums like NMAAHC (National Museum of African American History and Culture), images like these preserve our cultural heritage while inspiring continued progress towards inclusive higher education opportunities across our great nation.
