EDITORS COMMENTS
Prof. N. W. Harllee [recto], 1902: A Pioneering Figure in African American Education This striking portrait captures the distinguished visage of Prof. N. W. Harllee, an influential writer, educator, and advocate for African American education. Born into slavery, Harllee defied the odds to become the first superintendent of the Texas State Fair's Colored Department and the principal of Dallas Colored High School. His remarkable journey is a testament to the indomitable spirit and resilience of a people who refused to be defined by their circumstances. The photograph, taken in the early 20th century, is a poignant reminder of a time when the struggle for equal educational opportunities was a pressing concern for the African American community. Harllee's dedication to this cause was evident in his tireless efforts to improve the educational landscape for Black students. The image is part of a larger collection of historical documents and photographs housed at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library. The precise details of the creator of this photograph remain unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the cultural heritage of the United States. Harllee's legacy extends beyond the borders of Texas, as he is remembered alongside other luminaries of the era, such as Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver. Their collective impact on American history is a testament to the power of education and the importance of human rights. This portrait is a reminder of the past, but it also serves as an inspiration for future generations to continue the pursuit of knowledge and to fight for the rights and opportunities that were once denied to so many.
