EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the lives of Luther Miller Pulce and Irene Jenkins, residents of Centerville, Tennessee. Dated October 30,1902, it showcases their commitment to temperance through a family pledge. The term "temperance" refers to the practice of abstinence from alcohol. The print features an eye-catching design with the words "Family Temperance Pledge" and "God Bless Our Home" prominently displayed at the top. Above them floats an all-seeing eye symbolizing divine guidance, while rays of light emanate from it towards a Holy Bible below. In this idealized domestic scene, we see a white family depicted alongside six compelling reasons why signing the pledge is crucial. This artwork serves as a reminder of the importance placed on moral values during that era. Notably, this image holds historical significance within African American heritage as well. It portrays an African American couple engaging in the temperance movement—a testament to their dedication towards bettering themselves and their community. The inscription written in blue ink provides specific details about Luther Miller Pulce and Irene Jenkins' marriage—an intimate touch that adds depth to this piece of art. Preserved by the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this photograph offers us insight into early 20th-century America's cultural landscape. It represents not only personal convictions but also broader societal movements striving for positive change across race and religion in our great nation—the United States of America.
