EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1907, showcases J.E. Clark standing proudly before his flourishing pineapple farm in Eatonville, Florida. The quaint, rural setting of Orange County, Florida, United States, serves as the backdrop for this remarkable image. J.E. Clark, an African American businessman, is dressed in the attire of a successful farmer, exuding confidence and determination. The lush, green pineapple plant and the simple, yet sturdy building in the background, which may be his farmhouse or processing facility, add to the idyllic scene. At the time, the Jenkins Hertel & Co. was a prominent company in the pineapple industry, and it is unclear if J.E. Clark was affiliated with them. Regardless, this photograph is a testament to the hard work and perseverance of African American farmers during the early 1900s. The image is a valuable piece of history, preserved in the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The photograph, with its rich contrast and intriguing composition, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a man who, against all odds, made a living from cultivating the tropical fruit, Ananas sativus, in the heart of Florida. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the heritage and resilience of African Americans in agriculture and business during the 20th century.
