EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures Charlotte Hawkins Brown (1867-1923), an influential African American educator and civil rights activist, during her active years from 1917 to 1923. The photograph, of unknown origin, showcases Brown's determined and intelligent gaze as she looks directly at the camera with a sense of purpose. Wearing glasses and a serious expression, she is dressed in a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, giving an air of sophistication and professionalism. Born in North Carolina, Brown dedicated her life to the education and empowerment of African American youth. She founded the Palmer Memorial Institute in Sedalia, North Carolina, in 1902, which became a leading institution for African American students. Brown's commitment to civil rights extended beyond education, as she was an active member of various organizations, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). This photograph, taken during the 1920s, likely depicts Brown during one of her many speaking engagements or visits to promote education and civil rights. The image is now part of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, a testament to Brown's enduring legacy and her significant contributions to American history. Brown's portrait is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of African American women during a time of great social and political change in the United States. It is a poignant representation of the ongoing struggle for equality and the importance of education in shaping a better future for all.
