EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FREEDMANs SCHOOL 1866" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The engraving showcases the Zion School for Colored Children, a Freedman's School located in Charleston, South Carolina. It was taken in 1866, during a time when African Americans were finally being granted access to education and opportunities that had long been denied to them. The image captures the interior of a bustling classroom where young girls are engaged in their lessons. The room is filled with an air of hope and determination as these liberated children eagerly absorb knowledge from their dedicated teacher. This scene represents the resilience and strength of the African American community during this transformative period. The significance of this school extends beyond its walls; it symbolizes progress and empowerment for all marginalized communities across the South Eastern region. Through education, these students were given a chance to break free from the chains of illiteracy and poverty that had plagued their ancestors. This engraving serves as a reminder of how far we have come on our journey towards equality while also highlighting the importance of continuing efforts to provide quality education for all. It stands as a testament to the bravery and perseverance exhibited by both teachers and students alike during one of America's most challenging times.
