EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on January 4, 1918, captures the enigmatic and philanthropic figure of Charles Y. Garland, also known as "Barley" Garland. The image is a glass negative from the extensive Genthe Collection held at the Library of Congress. Charles Garland was a prominent American philanthropist whose contributions significantly impacted two of the most influential civil rights organizations of the 20th century - the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Garland's dedication to social justice and equality led him to make substantial donations to these organizations, furthering their efforts in advocating for civil liberties and racial equality in the United States. The photograph, taken during the 1910s, showcases Garland as a distinguished gentleman, dressed in formal attire, with a thoughtful expression on his face. The image, though devoid of color, radiates a sense of wisdom and determination that underscores Garland's commitment to making a difference in the world. The Garland Fund, established by Charles Garland, played a pivotal role in supporting various social causes, particularly those related to civil rights and civil liberties. This photograph is a testament to the legacy of a man who, through his philanthropy, left an indelible mark on the history of the United States and the lives of countless individuals. The Library of Congress's acquisition and preservation of this image is a valuable addition to the heritage art and historical records of the United States, providing a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the power of philanthropy and the importance of social justice.
