EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a skilled craftsman from the late 19th century. Meet Mr. Dodson, an African-American jeweler based in Knoxville, Tennessee, whose talent and dedication to his craft are beautifully portrayed in this image. Taken by renowned sociologist and civil rights activist W. E. B. du Bois, this portrait was exhibited at the prestigious Paris Exposition of 1900. Du Bois sought to showcase the achievements and contributions of African-Americans during a time when their voices were often marginalized. In this snapshot frozen in time, Mr. Dodson exudes confidence as he stands proudly amidst his workbench adorned with precious gemstones and intricate tools of his trade. His hands bear witness to years of meticulous craftsmanship that have made him a respected figure within Knoxville's jewelry industry. As we delve into history through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of not only Mr. Dodson's individual story but also the broader narrative of African-American resilience and entrepreneurship during an era marked by racial discrimination. With its Belle Époque charm and Edwardian elegance, this print transports us back to a period where hard work knew no boundaries or limitations imposed by society. It serves as a poignant reminder that artistry transcends race or background – it is universal. Let us celebrate Mr. Dodson's legacy as an exceptional jeweler who left an indelible mark on both his community in Knoxville and the world stage at large through exhibitions like the Paris Exposition of 190
