EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of daily life for an African American couple in the early 1900s. The photograph, taken in the United States around 1905, depicts a young man and woman standing beside a pond, each holding a end of a large metal pail. Their expressions are focused and determined as they work together to fill the container with water. The woman, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and blouse, wears a simple headscarf, while the man dons a collared shirt and trousers. The scene exudes a sense of quiet strength and resilience, reflecting the challenges and hardships faced by African Americans during this era. The image is part of the RG Badger Collection at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. The exact location of the photograph is unknown, but it serves as an important reminder of the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States.
