EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 1868, a significant year in American history. The image showcases the Beach Institute, a Freedmen School located in Savannah, Georgia. Through the medium of wood engraving, this piece beautifully captures the essence of this historic institution. The scene depicts an exterior view of the school building situated amidst a bustling street in Savannah. The architecture reflects both simplicity and elegance, representing hope for a better future for African Americans during Reconstruction era. The yard surrounding the institute is filled with people engaged in various activities - children playing and learning, adults conversing and going about their daily lives. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that education was at the forefront of change during this time period. The liberated individuals attending this school were eager to acquire literacy skills that had been denied to them for generations. This educational hub served as a beacon of knowledge and empowerment for African Americans in the South East region. The significance of institutions like Beach Institute cannot be overstated; they played an instrumental role in shaping minds and fostering progress within marginalized communities.
