EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts an extract from the reconstructed Constitution of the state of Louisiana, adopted in the year 1868. The document is accompanied by portraits of the distinguished members of the Convention and Assembly, including a full-length portrait of Oscar J. Dunn, the Lieut. Governor of Louisiana, seated at his desk. Dunn played a significant role in the reconstruction process following the Civil War, advocating for the rights of newly enfranchised African Americans. Surrounding Dunn are twenty-nine head-and-shoulders portraits of African American delegates to the Louisiana Constitutional Convention. Their inclusion in this important legislative body marked a significant milestone in the fight for racial equality and representation. The Convention aimed to establish a new constitution for the state, which would guarantee the civil and political rights of all citizens, regardless of race. The year 1868 was a pivotal moment in the history of Louisiana and the United States as a whole. The adoption of the new constitution represented a crucial step towards rebuilding the state after the devastation of the Civil War and the end of slavery. The portraits of the African American delegates serve as a powerful reminder of their contributions to this process and their determination to shape a more equitable future for themselves and their communities.
