EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the late 1890s, depicts a group of students from Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia, embarking on a field trip to study soil formation in the marshland. The tranquil scene showcases the students, both male and female, intently observing the quiet water and lush vegetation, likely using tools to collect samples for analysis. Established in 1868, Hampton Institute was a historically black college and a leading institution for higher education for African Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The students in this photograph are dressed in their Sunday best, reflecting the importance of this educational excursion. The marshland, with its rich soil and abundant plant life, provided an ideal location for the students to learn about geography, natural history, and the scientific processes that shaped their environment. This field trip not only served as an educational opportunity but also offered a chance for these young scholars to enjoy a day out of the classroom and connect with nature. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a pioneering photographer, captured this moment in time, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the historical significance of Hampton Institute and the importance of education in shaping the lives of its students.
