EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "League To Enforce Peace - Group. William H. Taft in Center, 1916," captures a group of dedicated activists, led by former President William Howard Taft, who came together during the tumultuous 1910s to advocate for peace in the face of the impending First World War. Taft, dressed in a crisp boater hat and summer suit, stands proudly in the center of the group, surrounded by a diverse assembly of men and women, all clad in formal attire. The women wear elegant dresses with high collars and long sleeves, while the men don suits and hats. The group is believed to be associated with the League to Enforce Peace, an organization that lobbied for a peaceful resolution to international conflicts and opposed the United States' entry into the war. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, founded by George H. and Martha Ewing, and is now part of the extensive Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of a pivotal moment in American history when citizens took a stand for their beliefs and sought to influence political decisions through grassroots activism.
