EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FREEDMENs SCHOOL 1866" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the Freedmens Union Industrial School at Richmond, Virginia, in the year 1866. Through this wood engraving from that era, we catch a glimpse of the early days of African American education and empowerment. The scene unfolds with an exterior view of the school building surrounded by a rural landscape. A group of children, boys and girls alike, can be seen engaged in daily life activities on a farm nearby. Their mothers work alongside them as they tend to vegetable fields and carry out agricultural tasks. This photograph encapsulates the resilience and determination of African American families during this time period. It highlights their commitment to education and self-sufficiency despite facing immense challenges in post-Civil War America. The image also serves as a reminder of Frances Benjamin Johnston's remarkable talent for capturing powerful moments through her lens. Her ability to document scenes like these sheds light on important aspects of our history that might have otherwise been forgotten or overlooked. As we reflect upon this turn-of-the-century photograph, let us remember the struggles faced by these working-class individuals who paved the way for future generations' progress towards equality and freedom.
