EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Sisters of the Holy Family, a group of African American women who dedicated their lives to serving others in New Orleans during the late 19th century. The image, exhibited by renowned scholar and activist W. E. B. du Bois at the Paris Exposition of 1900, showcases a powerful portrait of these remarkable women. In this print, we see a united sisterhood radiating strength and devotion. Their faces reflect both determination and compassion as they proudly wear their religious habits adorned with rosaries. Each woman stands tall, embodying grace and resilience in an era marked by racial prejudice. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of faith and community. These sisters were pioneers within their own community, breaking barriers through their commitment to Catholicism despite societal challenges faced by African Americans during that time. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder that even amidst adversity, unity can prevail. It is a testament to the power of faith and sisterhood transcending boundaries imposed by society. This print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to honor these extraordinary women who played an integral role in shaping New Orleans' history while inspiring future generations with their unwavering dedication to service and spirituality.
