EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic presence of John Wesley Cromwell (1887), an African-American trailblazer who left an indelible mark on American history. Cromwell was a multifaceted figure who dedicated his life to various professions and causes, including law, education, journalism, and civil rights activism. Born in the late 19th century, Cromwell's accomplishments were remarkable for the time. He served as a civil servant, a teacher, and a lawyer, using his education and skills to uplift his community. His commitment to education extended beyond the classroom, as he also became a journalist and historian, documenting the experiences and achievements of African Americans. Cromwell's activism was fueled by a deep sense of social justice and a belief in equal rights for all. He was an active member of the Cleveland O. community, working to promote human and civil rights. His efforts were recognized by the G.M. Rewell Company, which featured him in their publication, "Men of Mark: Eminent, Progressive and Rising." This powerful portrait, taken in the late 19th century, is a testament to Cromwell's enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of African Americans in American history. The portrait is now part of the esteemed collections of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, where it continues to inspire and educate generations to come.
