EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the First Class of Alabama Luther College, graduated on March 1, 1923. The image, captured in the 1920s, showcases a diverse group of young men and women proudly dressed in their academic regalia, standing in two neat rows against a plain background. The women wear long, flowing gowns with mortarboards, while the men don caps and gowns with tassels. Their expressions radiate a sense of accomplishment and excitement as they mark the completion of their education at this esteemed institution. Alabama Luther College, now known as Selma University, was a historically black college located in Selma, Alabama, USA. Founded in 1881, the college played a significant role in providing higher education opportunities for African Americans during a time when access to education was limited. This print, created by an unknown photographer and published by Concordia Publishing House, is a testament to the perseverance and determination of these students, who braved the challenges of the era to pursue their dreams. The print is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. This valuable historical artifact serves as an essential reminder of the rich heritage and contributions of African Americans in American education and society during the 20th century.
