Empire Day in Lagos, Nigeria, 1928: A Time of Pride and Unity Among Schoolchildren This photograph taken in 1928 showcases a memorable Empire Day celebration at the Racecourse in Lagos, Nigeria. The day was filled with excitement and joy as schoolchildren from various local schools gathered to participate in the parade, proudly displaying their British heritage. Empire Day, celebrated annually on May 24th, was an occasion for the British colonies to commemorate their connection to the British Empire. In Lagos, this day was marked by a grand parade where students showcased their school spirit and patriotism. The children, dressed in their finest uniforms, marched along the racecourse, their faces filled with pride and anticipation. The photograph captures a moment of unity and camaraderie among the schoolchildren, as they come together to celebrate their shared history and values. The track in the background serves as a symbol of the race they have run, and the progress they have made as students in the colonial education system. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the rich cultural history of Nigeria during the colonial era. It serves as a reminder of the importance of education and the power of community, values that continue to resonate with people today.
