EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Howard University Varsity Basketball Team, 1927," is a testament to the rich history of African American athletics in the United States during the 1920s. Taken by renowned photographer Addison N. Scurlock at his Washington D.C. studio, the image showcases the team's determination and camaraderie as they proudly pose in their sportswear. The team, hailing from Howard University in Washington D.C., is arranged in two rows, with the coach, Jones William Henry, standing at the center. Each player gazes directly at the camera with unwavering focus and confidence, reflecting their dedication to their sport and their institution. The team's uniforms, adorned with the university insignia, add a sense of unity and pride. This photograph is a significant addition to the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. It serves as a reminder of the important role that historically black colleges and universities played in providing opportunities for education and athletic achievement during a time when racial segregation was still prevalent in American society. Addison N. Scurlock, a pioneering African American photographer, captured this moment in history with precision and artistry. His work continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the past, and this photograph is a valuable piece of heritage art that deserves to be celebrated and preserved for future generations.
