EDITORS COMMENTS
A Rice Raft, South Carolina: A Glimpse into African-American Life in the Late 19th Century This black and white stereograph, captured by Strohmeyer & Wyman in 1895 and printed in 1904, offers a poignant snapshot of African-American women and children standing proudly on a vast pile of rice-straw atop a raft. The image showcases the resilience and strength of these individuals who played an integral role in the agricultural industry during this era. With twenty people featured against a backdrop of serene waters and towering trees, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into their daily lives. The vertical print on the left side reveals that Underwood & Underwood were responsible for publishing this remarkable piece across New York, London, Toronto-Canada, and Ottawa-Kansas. On the right side is another vertical print indicating that Works and Studios were located in Arlington, NJ as well as Westwood, NJ. As we delve deeper into American history at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it becomes evident that images like these are invaluable cultural artifacts. They shed light on important aspects such as child labor practices prevalent at that time while also highlighting the significance of education within communities facing adversity. Strohmeyer & Wyman's work not only captures an agricultural scene but also serves as a reminder to honor our shared heritage. This photograph transports us back to South Carolina where farm workers labored tirelessly to sustain themselves amidst challenging circumstances. Let us cherish this visual testament to their hard work and perseverance.
