EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1910s, features three remarkable women: Lou K. Early, Mary I. Weimer, and Jo Lu Wolcott. The image, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of America during the early 20th century. The trio, dressed in formal attire, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Lou K. Early and Mary I. Weimer, both of whom are African American, wear beautiful, high-collared dresses with intricate patterns. Jo Lu Wolcott, a Choctaw Native American, dons a traditional long-sleeved blouse and a striking hat adorned with feathers. The women are believed to have been associated with the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freedmen, an organization dedicated to providing education, healthcare, and social services to African Americans and Native Americans in the United States. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, was likely taken during one of the Board's events or gatherings. The image is a poignant reminder of a time when people from diverse ethnic backgrounds came together to support each other and promote social justice. It also showcases the unique fashion trends of the era, with each woman representing her distinct heritage through her clothing. This photograph is a valuable addition to the vast collection of historical images at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the experiences of marginalized communities during a pivotal period in American history.
