EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the revered figure of Rev. Edward Macknight Brawley, D.D., an influential educator and minister who made history as the first African American student to attend Bucknell University in the early 1900s. Born in the late 1870s, Brawley's groundbreaking academic achievement paved the way for future generations of Black students to pursue higher education in predominantly white institutions. After completing his studies, Brawley dedicated himself to the field of education and became the esteemed president of Selma University in Alabama. His commitment to education and uplifting his community was deeply rooted in the principles of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. The image showcases Brawley in formal attire, wearing a beard, and donning the honorary title of Doctor of Divinity (D.D.) bestowed upon him in recognition of his significant contributions to Christianity and the church. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of Black Americans during a time of profound social and racial change in the United States. The photograph is part of the rich cultural heritage preserved in the New York Public Library's vast collection. It serves as a powerful reminder of the crucial role that education, human rights, and community leadership played in shaping the lives of African Americans during the 20th century. Rev. Edward Macknight Brawley's legacy continues to inspire and challenge us to confront the complexities of our past and strive for a more equitable future.
