EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sewing Department, 1915," is a fascinating glimpse into the past of African American education and vocational training during the early 20th century in the United States. The image, taken at an unidentified further education college, showcases a group of young women intently focused on their sewing projects. Dressed in simple, practical attire, they sit at long tables, their hands deftly maneuvering needles and thread. The Sewing Department was likely part of a larger domestic training program designed to equip African American women with essential skills for employment opportunities in households and businesses. At a time when access to education was limited for many African Americans, these institutions played a crucial role in providing opportunities for skills acquisition and personal growth. The photograph, held in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the resilience and determination of these young women. Their serious expressions and focused demeanor convey a sense of purpose and dedication to their craft. The black-and-white image, produced by the Press of Smith Advertising Company, offers a poignant reminder of the importance of education and vocational training in shaping the lives of generations of Americans. The photograph's exact location is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to the rich heritage of African American history and culture in the United States. The image captures a moment in time, offering a glimpse into the lives of these young women and the vital role that education and training played in their futures.
