1940178391940. Unidentified photographers two photographs of African American adult education settings circa 1940s documenting literacy training and continuing education among Black adults in both Southern and Northern urban contexts. The material provides primary visual evidence of adult education initiatives addressing limited formal schooling opportunities supporting research into African American educational access self-improvement movements and the social conditions shaping learning during and after the Great Depression particularly within the broader context of Black migration and urban labor transitions.<br /> <br /> Two silver gelatin prints depicting classroom environments in Montgomery Alabama and Akron Ohio. One photograph produced by the Stewart Studio of Akron shows six African American adults seated in a row reviewing printed instructional material with an instructor standing behind them suggesting a structured literacy or skills-based lesson. The participants are dressed in formal or semi-formal attire indicating the social importance of education within adult communities. The second photograph embossed by the Donner Photography Studio of Montgomery presents a densely filled classroom of approximately fifty adult students gathered for a night class with individuals seated closely together facing forward and engaged in instruction. The scale of attendance indicates organized and sustained participation in adult education programs likely conducted outside standard working hours.<br /> <br /> Two photographs measuring approximately 9 x 7.25 inches and 9 x 5.5 inches. These images emerge from a period when many African American adults particularly those raised in the segregated South had limited access to formal education and later sought literacy and vocational training through community-based programs. The contrast between Southern and Northern locations reflects broader patterns associated with the Great Migration as individuals relocated for industrial employment while pursuing educational advancement. Light marginal soiling and small edge cracks visible images remain clear and stable; overall very good condition. A concise visual record of mid-twentieth-century African American adult education efforts across regional contexts. unknown

Contemporary color pencil signature at top margin of front cover. Small open tear to corner of first leaf at gutter. A very good copy of a scarce item concerning impartial education in schools. Anna Scull 1832 - the principal of the Hunter Girls' Grammar School in Philadelphia was accused by several parents of criticizing Catholicism and promoting the Lutheran Reformation during lessons she taught. The present work contains testimonies by parents and students alleging that Scull had "attacked vilified and abused the faith religion and belief" of Catholic students p. 52. She was also accused of vocally favoring Lutheranism in class by discussing Luther's opposition to the sale of indulgences by Pope Leo X p. 59. The Board of the Department of Education ultimately dismissed the case against Scull stating that they could not "recommend such deference to the religious zeal of any denomination or denominations as would prevent the impartial teaching in our public schools of the prominent facts of history" p. 159.</p>

15640Important collection of 43 original vintage photos of the Public School Gardening Movement in Queens New York City 1916-1920. The school gardening movement was a nationwide initiative to create gardens for children peaking1900-1920. The movement integrated many aspects of Progressive Era urban reform including education reform tenement house work and the transformation of the urban environment with Small Parks and City Beautiful. Unfolding in cities across the country including Berkeley Boston Dayton New York Philadelphia and Chicago; it was directly influenced by the educational "nature-study" movement which advocated the study of the natural world the growth of children's gardening programs in Europe and the development of the modern playground. These 43 photos show children planting harvesting watering and carrying their produced under the guidance of teachers. Most are approximately 2"x4" with some bearing dates 1916-1920 and a few with notes or names of those pictured. This collection is particularly relevant today as there is a resurgence of interest in the urban gardening model and the benefit to children of time spent in direct contact with the natural world.<br/> <br/>The leader of the school gardening movement was Frances Griscom Parsons 1850-1923 who created the first example in New York City and helped invent a profession of school garden advocacy. In 1902 she created the "Children's School Farm" on a plot of land in Hell's Kitchen where immigrant children living in congested tenements surrounded by warehouses factories slaughterhouses and the docks could have their own plot of land to grow vegetables. Parsons created the garden to counteract the slum conditions by providing an open space and experience of nature that was so glaringly absent from the neighborhood. However she emphasized that she did not start the farm "simply to grow a few vegetables and flowers." Parsons believed that gardening would teach children values and skills applicable to their lives in the city specifically "brotherhood cooperation self-respect and the dignity of labor." By "playing the part of little farmers" the children would become urban citizens. This was particularly essential as many of them were children of immigrants or immigrants themselves. The farm-which had a deep resonance in the American imagination-was the site of Parson's vision of an idealized city as manifested in her design of the farm into four "boroughs" with the main path named "Broadway" and an government elected among the children. unknown books

1928182801928. Randall Studio. University of Michigan Medical School student and faculty portrait 1928 documents racial and gender inclusion within a major American medical school during a period when African American and women physicians remained sharply underrepresented in medical education. The portrait supports research into professional training race gender and institutional access in interwar medicine especially because the group includes one African American man and four women among 82 students. The University of Michigan had admitted women beginning in 1870 and Sophia B. Jones became its first African American woman to earn a medical degree in 1885 giving this later class portrait added relevance within the school's longer history of medical education and inclusion.<br /> <br /> Silver gelatin photograph by Randall Studio. 1928. 22 x 18 inches. Mounted to photographer's board. The large-format image shows 82 students and faculty arranged in individual portrait format including four female students and one African American student. The scale and formal presentation identify the photograph as an institutional record of a medical cohort rather than a casual class image.<br /> <br /> The photograph captures a visibly limited but historically meaningful presence of women and an African American student in elite medical training before mid-century civil rights reforms. Small 1.5-inch tear to one corner barely affecting one of the 82 images; very small chips to side and top edges not affecting text or images; very good. Strong visual evidence of race gender and professional formation at the University of Michigan Medical School in 1928. unknown
