SHAW UNIVERSITY, c1899 - A Glimpse into African American Student Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a vibrant scene outside the medical dormitory at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina circa 1899. The image showcases a group of African American men engaged in a leisurely game of croquet on the university grounds. Against the backdrop of an impressive late 19th-century architectural structure, these young scholars find respite from their rigorous studies and embrace recreation. Their faces radiate joy and camaraderie as they skillfully navigate their mallets through the hoops, showcasing both their competitive spirit and refined elegance. Shaw University holds great historical significance as one of the oldest historically black universities in America. This print provides us with a rare glimpse into student life during this pivotal turn-of-the-century period when higher education opportunities for African Americans were still limited. The image not only highlights the importance of leisure activities for students but also symbolizes resilience and determination amidst racial adversity. These men embody aspirations for success while challenging societal norms that sought to restrict their potential. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of Shaw University's rich heritage and its role in empowering generations of African American scholars. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that fueled progress within marginalized communities throughout history.
