EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1869, showcasing the early stages of construction at Howard University in Washington, D. C. The wood engraving beautifully captures the essence of this historic moment, highlighting the dedication and hard work put into building this renowned institution. The image portrays a scene of bustling activity as bricklayers meticulously lay bricks to form what would become one of America's most prestigious universities. The sight is awe-inspiring, with workers diligently working together to bring this vision to life. Howard University holds immense significance in American history as it was established during a time when opportunities for African Americans were limited. Founded shortly after the Civil War ended, it became a beacon of hope and education for many aspiring individuals from marginalized communities. The reconstruction era was marked by progress and resilience, and this image serves as a powerful reminder of that transformative period. It symbolizes not only physical construction but also represents rebuilding lives and bridging gaps between races. As we gaze upon this remarkable wood engraving from 1869, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in our nation's history. It stands as a testament to human determination and perseverance while honoring the legacy of Howard University – an institution that continues to shape minds and empower generations even today.
