EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, Professor Wm. E. Holmes, the esteemed President of Central City College in Macon, Georgia during the early 1900s, is captured in a formal portrait. Dressed in a crisp suit and tie, complete with a neatly groomed moustache, Holmes exudes an air of authority and intelligence. The image, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, is a testament to the rich history of African American education in the United States. Central City College was an important institution for African American students in the South during a time when access to higher education was limited. Founded in 1889, the college provided opportunities for academic and professional development, as well as a sense of community and belonging. This photograph, which is part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Research and Study Center for African American History and Culture at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in the New York Public Library, offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the contributions of African American educators like Professor Holmes. The image is a valuable addition to the historical record and serves as a reminder of the important role that education has played in shaping the lives of individuals and communities. The creator of this photograph is unknown, but it is believed to have been taken by J.L. Nichols or one of his associates at the J.L. Nichols Company in Macon, Georgia. The company was known for producing high-quality photographic portraits and was a popular choice for individuals and institutions seeking professional images in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Overall, this photograph is a significant addition to any collection focused on African American history, education, or the history of Macon, Georgia. It offers a unique perspective on the past and serves as a reminder of the important role that educators like Professor Holmes played in shaping the future.
