EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the Holy Land during the 1920s, depicts a young Black girl proudly standing next to a tamed ostrich. The girl, dressed in a traditional Middle Eastern costume, wears a bright, colorful headscarf and a long, flowing robe. Her smile radiates joy and wonder as she reaches out to touch the feathery neck of the ostrich, which appears calm and obedient. The backdrop of the image is the arid, rocky landscape of the Holy Land, with its rolling hills and sun-scorched earth. The scene is reminiscent of biblical tales of the region, where stories of miracles and wonders unfolded. Despite the harsh conditions, the girl's connection with the ostrich is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people who lived in this part of the world during that era. The photograph also challenges stereotypes and preconceptions of the time, as it defies the notion that Black people could not interact with or tame exotic animals like ostriches. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, where cultures and traditions intermingled, and where the bonds between people and animals transcended racial and geographical boundaries. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and diversity of the Middle East and the people who have called it home for centuries.
