EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Mr. and Mrs. Gaskin and Family; Benton Harbor, Mich.; Earnest Workers in the A. M. E. Church, 1907," showcases a proud and devoted African American family of the early 20th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures the essence of faith, love, and community as the family, dressed in their Sunday best, poses in the pews of their local A. M. E. (African Methodist Episcopal) Church. The father, Mr. Gaskin, sits in the center, his stern yet gentle expression reflecting the responsibility and dedication he holds for his family. His wife, dressed in a beautiful, flowing dress, gazes directly at the camera with a warm and inviting smile, her eyes filled with pride and love for her husband and children. The couple's children, both boys and girls, sit on their parents' laps or cling to their sides, their innocent faces filled with curiosity and wonder. The photograph, which was printed by Atwell Printing and Binding Co. and is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the lives of African American families during this time period. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of family, faith, and community, and the enduring legacy of African American history and heritage.
