EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the determined gaze and dignified presence of Joseph Charles Price (1854-1933), an African-American founder, orator, and educator who made history as the first president of Livingstone College in Salisbury, North Carolina. Established in 1879, Livingstone College was one of the earliest institutions of higher learning for African Americans in the post-Civil War South. Born in Virginia, Price moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he began his education and became involved in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He later served as a teacher and principal in various schools before being appointed as the president of Livingstone College in 1891. Under his leadership, the college flourished, attracting students from across the region and gaining the support of philanthropists and educational institutions. Price was a passionate advocate for equal rights and human rights, and he worked tirelessly to promote education and opportunity for African Americans. He was also a prolific writer and speaker, and his speeches and articles were published in various newspapers and magazines. This photograph, taken in 1887, is a testament to Price's remarkable accomplishments and his enduring legacy as a trailblazer in African American education and cultural heritage. The image, from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a valuable addition to any collection of African American history and serves as a reminder of the important role that individuals like Price played in shaping the course of American history.
