EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Harvey Johnson, an African-American pastor and civil rights activist, in the year 1887. The image, taken from the book "Men of Mark: Eminent, Progressive and Rising" by William J. Simmons, is a testament to Johnson's significant contributions to American history. Johnson's stern yet thoughtful gaze and well-groomed mutton chops sideburns convey a sense of determination and resolve. His attire, consisting of a collared shirt, vest, and dress pants, reflects the formal dress code of the time. The background is simple, with a plain wall serving as the backdrop. Harvey Johnson was a prominent figure in the African-American community during the late 19th century. He served as a pastor and was an advocate for equal rights and human dignity. His activism helped pave the way for future civil rights leaders and movements. This photograph is a valuable piece of cultural heritage, showcasing the rich history and diversity of America's past. It is currently housed in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that individuals like Harvey Johnson played in shaping the country's history and advancing the cause of human rights. The photograph's creator is unknown, but it is a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of one man's life and legacy. The mutton chops sideburns, a popular facial hairstyle of the time, add an interesting visual element to the image and serve as a reminder of the cultural norms and trends of the era.
