EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a significant era in American history - the early 20th century. In this image captured around 1905, we witness a scene at the Atlantic Cotton Compress Company in Pensacola, Florida. Here, African American women and girls are diligently sorting cotton bales inside an expansive barn. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these hardworking individuals who played an integral role in the agricultural industry of that time. With their skilled hands and unwavering determination, they meticulously separate cotton fibers from impurities before it is compressed into bales for further production. The interior setting reveals not only their tireless efforts but also showcases their resilience amidst challenging working conditions. These women and girls were part of the working class community that contributed significantly to the Southeast's booming cotton farming sector. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, let us acknowledge and appreciate these unsung heroes who made invaluable contributions to America's economic growth during this period. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this piece of history through its art on demand collection, allowing us to reflect upon our past while honoring those whose labor often went unnoticed.
