Learning to Map the Parish
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative photograph capturing a pivotal moment in the education of a young African American man at Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, during the 1920s. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a focused student, J. Jay Samuel Stowell, seated at a desk in the seminary's map room. He intently studies a large, intricately detailed map spread out before him, using a pointer to trace the boundaries of a parish. The seminary, founded in 1884, was a vital institution for the education and training of African American Methodist ministers. The map room, filled with tables laden with maps and reference materials, was a crucial resource for students as they prepared to serve their communities. Stowell, dressed in a crisp shirt and tie, exudes a sense of determination and concentration. His intense gaze and posture suggest that he is fully immersed in the task at hand. The photograph captures the essence of a dedicated student, absorbed in his studies and committed to making a difference in the world. The photograph is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It is a poignant reminder of the rich heritage and history of African American education in the United States and the importance of furthering one's knowledge and skills to make a positive impact on one's community. The photograph also showcases the seminary's commitment to providing its students with the resources and tools they needed to succeed in their future roles as ministers and community leaders.
