A sepia tone carte-de-visite of a Freedmen’s School. Standing closing together in front of a large building composed of logs and wide planks, several children are photographed on a bright day, surrounded by mature skinny trees. This image captures just one of the many Freedman’s Schools established after the Civil War, tasked with educating, clothing, and housing former slaves. On the left of the photograph stands a woman wearing a large dark skirt and jacket. On the right of the photograph stands a man wearing hat, bright shirt, and dark trousers.
