EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Booker T. Washington, an influential African American leader and educator, in deep thought at his desk in the late 19th or early 20th century. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases Washington's serious demeanor and intellectual prowess. Dressed in a formal suit and tie, he sits at a wooden desk, surrounded by a ledger and various documents. The desk, adorned with a small scutoire, exudes an air of business and professionalism. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was a prominent figure in American history, known for his work as an educator, author, and orator. He founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which became a leading school for African Americans, focusing on industrial education and self-sufficiency. Washington's teachings emphasized the importance of hard work, education, and racial uplift, making him a respected and influential figure during the Jim Crow era. This photograph, part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the life of this remarkable man. The image, taken around 1907, is a testament to Washington's enduring legacy and the rich heritage of African American history in the United States.
