EDITORS COMMENTS
Great image of Bishop Benjamin W. Arnett, an influential African American religious leader and educator of the late 19th century. The photograph, taken in 1897, captures Bishop Arnett in profile, wearing a formal suit and a serious expression. The image is an engraving, likely produced by J.L. Nichols & Co., a prominent photography studio in New York City during that time. Bishop Arnett was a prominent figure in the African American community, serving as a minister and educator. He was born into slavery in North Carolina but went on to become a respected leader in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He spent much of his career in education, founding schools and advocating for the rights of African Americans. This photograph is a valuable piece of American history, reflecting the struggles and achievements of African Americans during a time of great social and political change. It is now part of the collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, making it accessible to researchers and the public for study and appreciation. Bishop Arnett's legacy continues to inspire and influence, reminding us of the important role that individuals have played in shaping the course of history. This image is a testament to his enduring impact and the rich heritage of African American culture in the United States.
