1899 1900 Archway Black Librarian Library South Carolina Student University Turn Of Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a glimpse of Claflin University's library in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The image showcases an archway leading into the historic library, which served as a hub for knowledge and learning during that era. The sepia tones add a sense of nostalgia to this snapshot from the turn of the century. Men and women can be seen scattered throughout the library, engrossed in books and engaged in scholarly pursuits. It is evident that education was highly valued at Claflin University, one of America's historically black colleges. The librarian stands proudly amidst rows upon rows of bookshelves, overseeing this sanctuary of intellectual growth. This print not only captures an early moment in time but also symbolizes the resilience and determination of African Americans seeking higher education during a challenging period in American history. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come while acknowledging the progress still needed to achieve true equality. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical gem for us to appreciate and reflect upon our shared past.
