EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "HINE: DORMITORY, 1917" captures the essence of a crowded dormitory at the Training School for Deaf Mutes in Sulphur, Oklahoma. Taken by renowned photographer Lewis Hine in 1917, this image offers a glimpse into the early education system for deaf individuals in America. The sepia-toned print showcases rows upon rows of neatly arranged beds that fill every inch of space within the dormitory. The sheer number of beds speaks to the high demand for education among deaf students during this time period. It is evident that these young individuals were determined to overcome their disabilities and acquire literacy skills. Lewis Hine's keen eye successfully conveys both the challenges faced by these students and their determination to succeed. The composition highlights not only their physical proximity but also their shared experiences and struggles as they navigate through an educational journey unique to them. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in providing equal opportunities for all learners today. It pays homage to those who paved the way for inclusive education while shedding light on an era when specialized institutions like this training school played a crucial role in empowering deaf individuals with knowledge and skills necessary for success.
