EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history - the announcement of General Robert E. Lee's surrender during the American Civil War. The broadside, dated April 9th, 1865, was plastered on walls across Detroit to invite citizens to join in a joyous victory celebration at Campus Martius. The image showcases the power of typography as the bold typeface boldly proclaims "LEEs SURENDER" emphasizing this pivotal event that marked a turning point in the war. It serves as a reminder of unity and triumph for the North against the South. In this photograph, we witness an important piece of historical documentation that reflects both regional pride and national reconciliation. As Detroit residents gathered at Campus Martius to commemorate this monumental occasion, it symbolized not only their support for President Abraham Lincoln's pursuit of peace but also their dedication to preserving the Union. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us of how far our nation has come since those tumultuous times. It stands as a testament to resilience and progress while honoring those who fought bravely on both sides. Let this print serve as a powerful reminder that even amidst conflict and division, there is always hope for unity and healing.
