EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Hampton Institute, Hampton, Va. ca. 1898 - 11 students in uniform playing guitars, banjos, mandolins, and cello, 1899 or 1900," is a poignant snapshot of history captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston. The image showcases a group of 11 young men, dressed in their school uniforms, gathered outdoors on the campus of Hampton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. The year is estimated to be either 1899 or 1900, a time when the institute, also known as Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, was at the forefront of providing education and opportunities for African American and Native American students. The students in the photograph are seen engaged in a musical performance, playing various instruments such as guitars, banjos, mandolins, and a cello. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time, showcasing the students' connection to their roots through music. The setting, with the students playing their instruments outdoors amidst the lush greenery, adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past, providing insights into the lives of these young men and the educational institution they attended. The photograph is part of the vast collection of the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical and cultural artifacts that chronicle the history of the United States. This image, in particular, is a reminder of the important role that education and music played in shaping the lives of African American and Native American students during the late 19th century. The photograph is a testament to the enduring power of music and the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations.
