EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the stern gaze of Mr. James T. Buckner, a prominent shipbuilder and boat renter in Battle Creek, Michigan, during the early 1900s. The oval-shaped image, framed and preserved, showcases Mr. Buckner's distinguished appearance with a well-groomed mustache and formal attire. He is depicted wearing a collared shirt, suspenders, and a bow tie, exuding an air of professionalism and success. The photograph, created by an unknown artist and printed by Atwell Printing and Binding Co. in Battle Creek, Michigan, is a testament to the rich history of American entrepreneurship during the 20th century. Mr. Buckner's mixed-race heritage adds an intriguing layer to the image, reflecting the diverse population and economic opportunities that existed in the United States at the time. The photograph is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. It serves as an important reminder of the contributions of African Americans to various industries, including shipbuilding and transportation, and the resilience and ingenuity of entrepreneurs like Mr. Buckner who built businesses in the face of adversity.
