leslielj — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 17:03:17 +0000

1,000 images have been added to the Jackson Davis Collection of African-American Educational Photographs. Jackson Davis, an educational reformer and amateur photographer, took over 5,000 photographs of African American schools, teachers and students throughout the Southeastern United States. His photographs — most intended to demonstrate the wretched conditions of African American schools in the south and to show how they could be improved — provide a unique view of southern education during the first half of the twentieth century. The collection is housed at UVA’s Small Special Collections Library. This is a publicly accessible collection.
