EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a powerful moment in history at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, in 1902.

This educational institution was originally established as the Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers in 1881, with Booker T. Washington serving as its first leader. The significance of this photo lies not only in its portrayal of diligent students but also in the context of segregation prevalent during that time period.
