EDITORS COMMENTS
This oval-shaped sepia photograph captures a significant moment in the political history of North Carolina. Taken during the session of 1889, it showcases the fifty-one senators and Lieutenant Governor who were instrumental in shaping the state's governance at that time. The meticulous attention to detail is evident as each delegate is listed on either side of the photograph, accompanied by their respective districts, cities, and counties. At the heart of this image stands Lieutenant Governor Thomas Michael Holt, his larger portrait symbolizing his central role in leading this esteemed group. Positioned below are Senator Henry Hall Falkener (R) and Senator Dred Wimberly (R), whose contributions are also recognized. The absence of inscriptions or marks adds an air of simplicity and elegance to this historical piece. It serves as a powerful reminder of African American representation in politics during the 19th century—a testament to progress amidst challenging times. Cyrus Paisley Wharton skillfully captured not only faces but also a snapshot of America's cultural heritage within this black-and-white gelatin silver print. Through his lens, he immortalized these men—businessmen turned politicians—who dedicated themselves to serving their country. Displayed proudly at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this photographic print invites viewers to reflect upon our nation's past while celebrating its strides towards equality and justice for all.
