EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Learning Dressmaking," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1904. The image showcases a group of African American students diligently engaged in a dressmaking class at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, under the watchful eye of their instructor. The institute, founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, was dedicated to providing education and vocational training to African Americans, with a focus on self-sufficiency and practical skills. The students in the photograph are seated around a long table, each one intently focused on their individual project. A mannequin dressed in a completed garment stands nearby, serving as a model for their work. The room is filled with sewing tables, each equipped with a student's essentials: a sewing machine, scissors, thread, and fabric. The students' expressions convey a sense of determination and pride in their work, as they learn a valuable skill that would not only provide them with a means of employment but also enable them to create beautiful clothing for themselves and their families. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of education and the role it plays in shaping individuals and communities. It is a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the students at Tuskegee Institute and the visionary leadership of Booker T. Washington. Today, this image is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, a treasure trove of historical materials that document the experiences of people of African descent. The photograph is a valuable addition to the library's extensive collection, offering a glimpse into the past and providing insights into the rich history of African American education and fashion.
