EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an unidentified friend of Emily Smith Mallard, taken during her time at Talladega College in Alabama, United States, around the turn of the 20th century. The image, held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, showcases the elegance and sophistication of the era's Afro-American fashion. The young woman, dressed in a formal, high-necked dress with a full skirt and a matching hat adorned with a ribbon, exudes confidence as she gazes directly at the camera with her hands gracefully behind her back. The sepia tone adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a moment in history when education was a beacon of hope and progress for African Americans. Emily Smith Mallard, a trailblazer herself as one of the first African American women to earn a law degree in New York, would have undoubtedly made lasting connections during her time at Talladega College. This photograph serves as a testament to the rich heritage and resilience of African American women during the 1900s, a period marked by significant social and cultural changes in the United States.
