EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1899, depicts a dedicated class of students at Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia, immersed in a mathematical geography lesson. The students, a mix of men and women, are intently focused on their teacher as she explains the intricacies of Earth's rotation around the sun. The blackboard in the background is adorned with diagrams and calculations, while the students gesture and point to various points on the globe, illustrating their understanding of the concept. Established in 1868 as the Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, Hampton Institute was a pioneering institution for African Americans in the United States, providing education and training in various fields. The school's commitment to academic excellence is evident in this image, as the students engage in a rigorous and engaging mathematical geography lesson. Frances Benjamin Johnston, a prolific photographer of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, captured this moment in history, preserving it for future generations. The photograph, with its timeless quality, transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of American education and the determination of students to learn and excel.
