EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899 showcases the cheese press screw at Hampton Institute in Virginia. In this image, students studying agricultural sciences can be seen engrossed in their studies, highlighting the dedication and commitment to education at the institute. Hampton Institute, along with Tuskegee Institute, played a significant role in training African American educators during a time of segregation. These institutions aimed to equip black students with practical skills that would enable them to secure employment and become self-sufficient craftsmen or industrial workers. The photo captures an important moment in history when knowledge was being imparted within segregated classrooms. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by African Americans seeking higher education during this era. The presence of both male and female students emphasizes the inclusive nature of Hampton Institute's educational approach. The diverse group gathered here demonstrates the determination and resilience of these individuals who sought to overcome societal barriers through education. Frances Benjamin Johnston's photograph not only documents an agricultural scene but also symbolizes hope for progress and equality. It stands as a testament to the power of education in empowering marginalized communities, ultimately shaping America's future generations.
