EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1870 showcases a school open to the teaching of African American children in New York City, USA. The image depicts a classroom filled with eager young students learning about forms and volumes under the guidance of their teacher. In this historical snapshot, we see children dressed in traditional 19th-century attire, engrossed in their studies. The room is adorned with educational tools such as an earth globe and various objects used for hands-on learning. The teacher stands at the front of the class, providing instruction and guidance to her pupils. The diversity and inclusion represented in this image are truly remarkable for its time. At a time when racial segregation was still prevalent in many parts of the country, this school welcomed African American children with open arms, offering them access to education and knowledge. As we reflect on this piece of history, we are reminded of the importance of equal opportunities for all individuals to learn and grow. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of how far we have come in terms of education equality while also highlighting the work that still needs to be done to ensure that every child has access to quality education regardless of race or background.
