EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Mrs. Margaret Sterling, an African American clergywoman, in the 1920s. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1921, shows Mrs. Sterling seated and dressed in her church robes, exuding a sense of grace and dignity. The location of the photograph is unknown, but it is believed that she may have been affiliated with the Episcopal Church or the Methodist Church in the United States. Mrs. Sterling's attire consists of a long, flowing robe with intricate patterns and a collar, typical of the ecclesiastical garments worn by clergy members during that era. Her expression is serene and thoughtful, reflecting the deep spiritual connection that guided her work as a religious leader. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. This important institution is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the cultural, social, and historical experiences of people of African descent. The image of Mrs. Sterling is a valuable addition to the library's holdings, providing a glimpse into the rich heritage of African American religious history in the United States. Despite the unknown creator of this photograph, it remains a powerful testament to the contributions of African American women in the clergy during the 20th century. The image invites us to reflect on the history of faith and spirituality in the African American community, and the important role that individuals like Mrs. Sterling played in shaping it.
