EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a young African-American girl in the late 19th century. Exhibited by the renowned W. E. B. du Bois at the Paris Exposition of 1900, this image is a testament to both her individuality and the rich cultural heritage she represents. Dressed in an elegant empire gown, which was fashionable during that era, she stands with poise and grace. Her nightgown-like attire adds a touch of innocence to her portrait, contrasting beautifully with her confident stance. The intricate details of her dress reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent in fashion during this time period. The significance of this photograph extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes empowerment for African-American women during a time when their voices were often silenced or overlooked. Through his exhibition at such a prestigious event, Du Bois aimed to challenge societal norms and shed light on the beauty and resilience within black communities. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder of our shared history and celebrates the strength and dignity embodied by individuals like this young girl from long ago. It is through appreciating these stories that we can continue to strive for equality and understanding in our present-day society.
