EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FREEDMENs SCHOOL 1866" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the Freedmens Union Industrial School, located in Richmond, Virginia, during the year 1866. A wood engraving captured this scene, highlighting an interior view of the school. In this bustling classroom setting, we witness African American men and women engaged in various activities that reflect their newfound freedom and desire for education. Among them are seamstresses diligently sewing garments with wooden machines while others attentively listen to a Caucasian school mistress teaching lessons on literacy and craftsmanship. The photograph encapsulates the spirit of liberation as these individuals strive to acquire new skills and knowledge despite their challenging circumstances. It serves as a testament to resilience and determination amidst post-Civil War reconstruction efforts. The one-room schoolhouse represents hope for both African Americans seeking empowerment through education and teachers dedicated to guiding them towards self-sufficiency. This image is a reminder of the transformative power that education holds within society. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this historical artifact allows us to glimpse into an era where racial barriers were being challenged through educational opportunities provided by institutions like the Freedmens Bureau.
