EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Saluting Flag, c1900" captures a significant moment in American history. Taken by the talented Frances Benjamin Johnston, it showcases students at Whittier Primary School in Hampton, Virginia proudly saluting the United States flag. The image transports us back to the early 1900s, a time when patriotism and allegiance to one's country were deeply ingrained values. The young African American boys and girls stand tall with their hands placed firmly over their hearts as they recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Their faces reflect determination and pride as they honor Old Glory. The composition is strikingly beautiful; an exterior shot of the schoolyard reveals a picturesque scene with an old tree providing shade for these dedicated students. The turn of the century architecture adds charm to this historic setting. Frances Benjamin Johnston's skillful photography immortalizes this poignant moment in time, capturing not only the innocence of childhood but also highlighting the importance of education and unity within our diverse nation. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how far we have come as a society while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving equality for all Americans.
