EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Chemical laboratory," was captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in the year 1904. The image offers a rare glimpse into the world of science education during the early 20th century, specifically at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, United States. The photograph depicts a group of African American students and teachers engaged in a chemistry lesson in the Institute's laboratory. The room is filled with an air of focused intensity as the individuals work diligently with their laboratory equipment. The laboratory setting is adorned with various scientific tools, beakers, and test tubes, reflecting the importance of scientific inquiry and experimentation in the curriculum. At the forefront of the image stands Booker T. Washington, the esteemed educator and founder of the Tuskegee Institute. Washington's presence underscores the significance of this educational institution in providing opportunities for African American students during a time when access to higher education was limited. His influence extended beyond Tuskegee, making him a trailblazing figure in American history. This photograph is a testament to the determination and commitment of both the students and teachers at Tuskegee Institute, who were dedicated to advancing their knowledge and skills in the field of science. The image has been preserved in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and historians studying the history of education and African American history in the United States.
