EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the enigmatic figure of Sarah Jane Woodson Early, the wife of Reverend J.W. Early. The image, taken in Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, in the year 1907, captures Sarah Jane in the prime of her life. She is dressed elegantly in a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, her hair neatly styled and pinned up. The serene expression on her face and the gentle tilt of her head suggest a deep inner strength and quiet determination. Sarah Jane Early was not just a devoted wife and mother; she was also an accomplished educator and activist. She traveled extensively throughout the southern United States, lecturing and teaching in schools. Her dedication to education and uplifting her community was a testament to her unwavering commitment to progress and equality. This photograph is a precious artifact from the early 20th century, a time when African Americans faced significant challenges and discrimination. Sarah Jane's story is an inspiring reminder of the resilience and determination of black Americans during this era. The photograph was taken by an unknown photographer and was published by Atwell Printing and Binding Co. in New York. It is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library.
