EDITORS COMMENTS
This photographic postcard takes us back to the year 1917, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases a military marching band in all its glory, parading through an open field. Led by their conductor, these talented musicians exude strength and unity as they march with precision and pride. Behind the band, another group of men can be seen following closely, perhaps soldiers or supporters joining in on this momentous occasion. In the distance stands a building, serving as a silent witness to this historical display. The significance of this photograph is further enhanced by its connection to African American history. As we delve into our heritage art at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), we uncover stories that have shaped our nation's past. This image serves as a reminder of the contributions made by African Americans during times of war and conflict. While the creator remains unknown, their work has left an indelible mark on our collective memory. Through this postcard, we are transported back in time to witness not only a military spectacle but also a testament to resilience and cultural heritage. As we reflect upon this powerful image today, it resonates with movements such as Black Lives Matter (BLM), reminding us that every individual's story deserves recognition and celebration. Let us honor those who came before us while striving for equality and justice in our country - the United States of America.
