EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1903, showcases three esteemed gentlemen of The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association was the first African American-owned and operated insurance company in the United States, founded in 1898 in Durham, North Carolina. The trio, dressed in formal attire, exude confidence and professionalism as they gaze directly at the camera. Edward A. Johnson and Edward A. Johnson, both with strong and determined expressions, flank the central figure, whose identity remains unknown. The lettering on the wall behind them reads "The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association," with the company's logo visible above. The elegant typeface and lower case letters add to the sense of sophistication and stability. This photograph, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich history and heritage of African American businesses in the United States. The North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association not only provided insurance services but also played a significant role in employment and recruitment, contributing to the economic and social advancement of the African American community in the early 20th century. The statistics and records preserved in this image offer valuable insights into the company's operations and the lives of its employees during this period.
