EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe on July 2, 1918, captures Agnes Elizabeth Ernst Meyer, a trailblazing journalist, philanthropist, and civil rights activist. Agnes, dressed in an elegant high-collared dress with intricate beadwork, exudes an air of sophistication and poise. Her dark hair is styled in an elegant updo, accentuating her striking features. Born in Germany in 1874, Agnes immigrated to the United States with her family at a young age. She went on to become a prominent journalist, working for various publications including the Washington Post and the New York Herald Tribune. Agnes was also a dedicated civil rights activist, advocating for equal rights for African Americans and women. In addition to her journalistic and activist pursuits, Agnes was a generous patron of the arts, supporting various cultural institutions and artists throughout her life. This portrait, part of the Arnold Genthe Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to her enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in American history. Agnes Elizabeth Ernst Meyer passed away in 1970, leaving behind a rich heritage of journalism, philanthropy, and activism that continues to inspire generations. This image, with its timeless beauty and intriguing subject, offers a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman who made a significant impact on American society.
