EDITORS COMMENTS
Class in Outdoor Geometry, 1904" is a captivating photograph by Frances Benjamin Johnston that showcases a group of students from Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, United States, engaged in an outdoor geometry lesson. The image, taken in the early 20th century, is a testament to the practical and innovative approach to education championed by Booker T. Washington, the institute's renowned leader. The photograph, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, captures the students in the picturesque surroundings of the Tuskegee campus. The men and women, dressed in their best attire, are seen measuring the angles and shapes of various structures, including houses and buildings, with the help of a measuring tape. The serene outdoor setting, dotted with trees and greenery, provides a striking contrast to the traditional indoor classroom setting. The students, both male and female, appear focused and engaged, demonstrating their dedication to their education. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of hands-on learning and the role that nature can play in the educational experience. The image also highlights the legacy of Booker T. Washington, who believed in the power of practical education to transform lives and uplift communities. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished photographer, captured this moment in time with great skill and sensitivity, resulting in an enduring image that continues to inspire and educate us about the history of African American education in the United States.
