EDITORS COMMENTS
This cover page of The Crusader magazine, featuring a North African girl, dates back to the 1910s. The image, published between 1918 and 1922, is part of the vast collection housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of the New York Public Library. The girl, dressed in traditional North African attire, exudes a sense of pride and strength. Her costume, with its intricate patterns and vibrant colors, speaks to the rich heritage of the African continent. The Crusader was a publication based in New York, United States, and was known for its focus on social issues affecting African Americans. The cover page, with its striking portrait of a North African girl, suggests a broader scope, reflecting the interconnectedness of the African diaspora. Cyril V. Briggs, an American publisher and journalist, is believed to have played a role in the publication of The Crusader. The image, though unsigned, is a testament to the magazine's commitment to showcasing diverse perspectives and cultures. The photograph, a relic of a bygone era, remains a powerful reminder of the past and the enduring legacy of African cultures. Today, it continues to inspire and inform, offering valuable insights into the history of fashion, culture, and identity.
