EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the profound presence of Reverend J.B. Fields, an African-American Baptist minister, clergyman, preacher, and orator, taken in the year 1887. The image is part of the collection "Men of Mark: Eminent, Progressive and Rising" by William J. Simmons, showcasing the achievements of notable Black Americans. Reverend Fields, born in the United States during the 19th century, is depicted here in formal attire, exuding an air of authority and wisdom. His piercing gaze and confident posture suggest a man of great conviction and dedication to his faith and community. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer and is now part of the vast collections at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of African Americans during this period, highlighting the progress and resilience of Black communities in the face of adversity. Reverend Fields' life and work serve as an important reminder of the ongoing struggle for equal rights and human dignity, as well as the significant contributions made by Black Americans to the religious and social fabric of the United States. This evocative portrait invites us to reflect on the past and to honor the legacy of Black trailblazers like Reverend Fields, who continue to inspire and challenge us today.
