EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Religious training and physical culture; An evidence of the remarkable advancement of members of the Young Men's Christian Association" was captured in the United States during the 1910s, specifically in the year 1917. The image showcases a group of African American men, dressed in sportswear, gathered together in a gymnasium or community center. The men, with determined expressions and a direct gaze towards the camera, are engaged in various physical activities, including basketball. The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) was an influential organization during this era, dedicated to the development of mind, body, and spirit. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to the association's impact on the African American community in particular, where both religious and physical education were prioritized. The men in the photograph embody the spirit of camaraderie, discipline, and dedication, as they work together to improve their physical fitness and athletic abilities. The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library, houses this historical treasure in its Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Reference Division. The image is a valuable addition to the center's extensive collection of African American heritage art and serves as an important reminder of the rich history and resilience of the Black community in America during the early 20th century. The men in the photograph, with their diverse backgrounds and shared commitment to self-improvement, represent the unity and progress that was possible even in the face of adversity. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of the YMCA and the transformative impact it had on the lives of African American men during this era.
