EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1866, where we find ourselves inside a primary school for freedmen in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The image showcases an intimate scene of a classroom led by Mrs. Green, the dedicated school mistress in charge of these liberated children. As we observe closely, we see a diverse group of students gathered around wooden desks, their eager faces illuminated by the soft light streaming through the windows. In this one-room schoolhouse, education becomes a powerful tool for empowerment and progress. We witness an African American girl engrossed in her lesson while sitting next to her Caucasian classmate. This poignant representation symbolizes unity and equality amidst a society still grappling with its past. The wood engraving from an American newspaper dating back to 1886 beautifully captures this significant moment in history when literacy became accessible to all races and backgrounds. It serves as a reminder of the tireless efforts made by women like Mrs. Green who believed in breaking down barriers through education. As we reflect upon this image, it is impossible not to appreciate how far we have come since those days at Freedman's School. Education remains paramount today as it was then – unlocking doors and providing opportunities for generations to come across America's vast landscape – both physically and metaphorically speaking.
