EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Reverend Harrison N. Bouey, an African-American minister, teacher, journalist, and missionary, in the year 1887. The image, taken from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into Bouey's distinguished career and his significant contributions to the African-American community during the 19th century. Bouey was a prominent figure in efforts to help black Americans emigrate to Africa, and his dedication to education, equal rights, and human rights was evident in his various roles as a teacher, journalist, and clergyman. He was affiliated with the G.M. Rewell Company, a firm that facilitated emigration to Africa, and his work with this organization further solidified his reputation as a trailblazer for black Americans seeking new opportunities and a better future. The photograph reveals Bouey's distinguished appearance, with his well-groomed beard and formal attire, reflecting the dignity and respectability that he brought to his many roles. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and history of African Americans during this period, and serves as a reminder of the important figures who dedicated their lives to the pursuit of education, equal rights, and opportunities for personal and communal growth. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of African-American history, and is a testament to the resilience and determination of a community that continues to make strides towards progress and equality.
