EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic portrait captures the essence of Lt. Charles J. Blackwood during his service in World War I. Dressed in full military attire, Blackwood stands proudly in a studio setting with a neutral background that emphasizes his commanding presence. The tunic jacket he wears proudly displays U. S. R. pins on each side of his collar, symbolizing his affiliation with the United States Reserves. Blackwood's campaign hat adds an air of authority to his appearance, showcasing both style and functionality for soldiers during this era. The photograph itself bears marks of its age, with four areas at each corner where it had previously been attached to another surface. A faded maker's mark at the center reveals that it was taken by Duce & McClymonds from Rockford, Illinois. As an African American soldier serving during a time when racial discrimination was prevalent, Lt. Charles J. Blackwood's portrait holds significant historical value and represents the resilience and bravery of black servicemen who fought for their country amidst adversity. Preserved within the archives of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this heritage art piece serves as a testament to Blackwood's contribution to America's military history and honors all those who served alongside him during World War I.
