EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the 1920s, showcases Hiram Rhodes Revels, an American trailblazer and historical figure. Revels, born in Fayette, Mississippi, in 1827, became the first African American to serve in the United States Congress, representing Mississippi from December 20, 1870, to March 3, 1871. The image captures Revels in his later years, with a distinguished beard and a thoughtful expression. He is dressed in formal attire, suggesting his role as a clergyman or churchman. Revels was a devoted Christian and served variously as a Methodist minister and an Episcopal bishop. His religious commitment was a significant aspect of his life and career. The photograph, held in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Education Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the heritage and history of African Americans in the United States during the 20th century. The image is a testament to Revels' political and religious accomplishments, as well as his impact on American society. Revels' legacy as a senator, minister, and influential figure in American politics during the Reconstruction era is an essential part of the country's history. This photograph serves as a reminder of his contributions and the progress made towards racial equality in the United States.
