EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the early 1900s, depicts Reverend Mary Hill, an African American Methodist preacher, standing proudly in front of a bookshelf filled with Bibles. The Reverend is dressed in a long, flowing robe, the color of which is difficult to discern in this monochrome image. Her dress, which covers her from neck to ankle, is adorned with intricate patterns and folds gracefully around her figure. The Bible she holds in her hands is bound by the Atwell Printing and Binding Company, as evidenced by the label visible on the spine. Reverend Mary Hill's expression is one of deep concentration and conviction, as if she is preparing for a sermon or reflecting on the words within the sacred text. The photograph was taken in the United States, most likely in a rural area, based on the simple, country setting in the background. This powerful image is a testament to the rich heritage of African American Christianity and the important role that religious leaders like Reverend Mary Hill played in their communities. The photograph is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which is housed in the New York Public Library. It serves as an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, and anyone interested in exploring the history and culture of the African diaspora in America.
