EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1915 in a school in Gloucester County, Virginia, captures a moment in the rich educational history of African American students during the early 20th century. The image, from the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, depicts a dedicated educator instructing a group of young girls in the art of sewing. The girls, dressed in their Sunday best, sit attentively at their individual sewing machines, focused on their tasks as their teacher guides them through the practical lesson. This scene is a poignant reminder of the importance of education during a time when opportunities for African American students were limited. The General Education Board, an organization dedicated to improving education in the United States, played a significant role in funding schools for African American students in the South during this era. The girls in this photograph are likely part of this initiative, which aimed to provide them with valuable skills and knowledge that would help them navigate the world beyond the classroom. The image, a testament to the past, showcases the determination and resilience of these young students as they learn a valuable skill that would have been essential for their future. The sewing lesson not only served a practical purpose but also fostered a sense of community and camaraderie among the girls. This photograph is a precious piece of history that sheds light on the heritage and cultural significance of education for African American students during the early 1900s in the United States.
