SUBJECT NOTE: Eastman Johnson painted The Lord Is My Shepherd just months after the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. And while it may seem like a quiet moment of private devotion, this simple image of a Black man reading carried real weight—especially in a country where, until recently, it had been illegal to teach enslaved people to read in much of the South.
