EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1904, three African American men are seen working at the Tuskegee Institute's sawmill in Alabama, United States. The image captures the practical nature of education imparted at the renowned institution founded by Booker T. Washington. The men, dressed in work clothes, are deeply focused on their task of sawing timber planks, their faces expressing determination and concentration. The sawmill, located on the institute's campus, was an integral part of the curriculum, teaching students valuable skills in agriculture, industry, and craftsmanship. This photograph is a testament to the hands-on, practical approach of Tuskegee Institute's education system, which aimed to equip students with the necessary skills to become self-sufficient and contribute to their communities. The image is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library.
