EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the introspective gaze of Walter H. Brooks, an African American author and Baptist clergyman, in the year 1921. The image, taken during the Roaring Twenties, showcases Brooks wearing a moustache and glasses, with his bald head framed by the edges of the photograph. Dressed in a formal suit and shirt, he exudes an air of authority and wisdom. Brooks, born in the United States, was an accomplished writer and churchman, whose works were published by Associated Publishers. He is best known for his contributions to the Baptist faith and Christian literature. The portrait, now housed in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of African American men during the 20th century. The location of the photograph is unknown, but the direct gaze of Brooks as he looks at the camera invites the viewer to connect with him on a personal level, transcending the boundaries of time and space. The portrait is a testament to Brooks' enduring legacy as a significant figure in American history, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our society today.
