EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Lieutenant B.O. Davis stands proudly in his military uniform, serving as the Military Instructor and Commandant at Wiberforce, Ohio, in 1915. The image captures Davis's strong and determined demeanor, as he gazes directly at the camera with a sense of purpose and confidence. Davis's military uniform, complete with a cap, jacket, and trousers, is crisp and well-pressed, reflecting the disciplined and orderly nature of the military institution he represents. The photograph was taken at Wiberforce, a historically black college located in Greene County, Ohio, which was established in 1856 to provide higher education opportunities for African Americans. The photograph is a testament to the significant role that African Americans played in the military during this era, despite facing discrimination and segregation in other areas of American society. Davis's position as Military Instructor and Commandant at Wiberforce underscores the importance of education and military training for the African American community during this time. This photograph is a valuable historical artifact, preserved in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the contributions and achievements of African Americans in various professions, including the military, during the early 20th century. The image is a reminder of the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States, and the ongoing efforts to preserve and celebrate their stories.
