EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) captures a significant moment in American history, showcasing the Extempo club of Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. Taken between 1890 and 1906, this image portrays nine young black men who are elegantly posed and seated around two small tables. The composition exudes an air of camaraderie and intellectual exchange within this esteemed club. These young scholars, undoubtedly students at Fisk University, epitomize the resilience and determination of African Americans during a time marked by racial discrimination and social upheaval. Fisk University holds a prominent place in the annals of higher education for African Americans. Established shortly after the Civil War to provide educational opportunities for freed slaves, it became a beacon of hope for aspiring intellectuals seeking knowledge and empowerment. In this photograph, we witness these ambitious individuals engaging in lively discussions that likely encompassed various topics such as literature, politics, or philosophy. Their presence symbolizes not only their personal achievements but also represents the collective struggle for equality faced by countless black communities across America during this era. As we reflect upon this remarkable snapshot from our past, let us remember these trailblazers who paved the way for future generations to pursue education against all odds. The Extempo club members embody both resilience and intellectuality - qualities that continue to inspire us today.
