EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1870 cartoon by Thomas Nast encapsulates the profound irony surrounding Hiram Rhoades Revels, the first African American senator. In a stroke of poetic justice, Revels occupies the very Senate seat from Mississippi that was once held by Jefferson Davis, a staunch defender of slavery and leader of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Nast's artistic brilliance shines through as he masterfully portrays this significant moment in history. The image captures two men side by side: on one hand, we have Revels, an intelligent and dignified African American man breaking barriers and challenging societal norms; on the other hand, there is Davis, representing a dark era marred by racial inequality and oppression. The cartoon serves as a powerful commentary on political action in post-Civil War America. It highlights both progress and resistance within society as it grapples with issues of race and equality. Nast's use of imagery evokes emotions ranging from admiration for Revels' achievement to disdain for those who perpetuated injustice. This thought-provoking print not only commemorates an important milestone but also reminds us of how far we have come in our ongoing struggle for equal rights. It stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of individuals like Hiram Rhoades Revels who paved the way for future generations to fight against discrimination and prejudice.
