This image is displayed through many for the headers throughout the archive, it has a very authentic African feel to it. With the geometric shapes and sharp angles, I believe  it represents a black man most likely. I don’t feel a deeper message behind this image besides the beauty of the art itself, some things don’t need a deep message beauty is more than enough. While skimming through the archive this was what caught my eye the most, the amount of times it was used and how it was almost exclusively used in the header splitting words and making it feel more “full”. It also didn’t help that most of the other images on the Google book were completely missing but this is a good option nonetheless.

On page 186 on the Google book a bunch of drawing of peoples faces start showing up, Dr. Blanch C. Williams. She was a professor of English literature and head of the English department at Hunter college. Just as all the other faces from that page and onward she was very successful and intelligent, breaking the glass ceiling that many deemed impossible at the time but realized that it’s not that’s hard as long as you work hard and have a lot of determination. As they say you make your own luck, and that’s what a lot of these people did. When you think about the history of this nation not a lot of people think about the trials black people have gone through to succeed, even after the abolishment of slavery. Dark days have loomed over and they’re not spoken about in schools or just skimmed through, archives like this make you curious and help you learn new thing about the people of the time. Things you probably would’ve never went over in Highschool history.
