EDITORS COMMENTS
This Carte de Visite photograph, titled "Chester, U.S. minister to Liberia," was captured by the skilled lens of David Clark Burnite around the year 1870. The subject of the image is Chester Thomas Morris, an African American minister from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, United States, who served as a United States minister to Liberia during the nineteenth century. Morris is depicted in formal attire, wearing a crisp suit and a bearded face that exudes wisdom and authority. The black-and-white image, held in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library, is a testament to the rich heritage and history of African Americans in the United States during this period. Burnite's photograph captures the essence of a man who was not only a minister but also a journalist, lawyer, and soldier. Morris's commitment to public service and diplomacy is evident in his stoic expression and impeccable appearance. The photograph provides a glimpse into the life of an influential figure during a time when African Americans were making significant strides in various fields, despite facing numerous challenges and discrimination. The image is a valuable addition to the vast collection of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, which preserves and showcases the history and culture of people of African descent. The photograph not only provides insight into the life of Chester Thomas Morris but also serves as a reminder of the important contributions made by African Americans in the United States during the nineteenth century.
