EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant piece of history, the nurses cap worn by Pauline Brown Payne in 1944. Pauline Brown Payne, an African-American nursing school administrator, left an indelible mark on the healthcare industry during a time when racial barriers were prevalent. The white nurses cap featured in this image is a symbol of her dedication and perseverance. The meticulously designed cap boasts a folded back brim that exudes elegance and professionalism. Its edges are fastened to the back interior with two buttons, ensuring a secure fit for long hours of service. A thoughtful flap covers the back of the head and folds under to meet the edges of the brim, adding both functionality and style. During World War II, as America grappled with global conflict, women like Pauline Brown Payne played crucial roles in providing medical care to those in need. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment and sacrifice. Preserved within this heritage art piece at the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), it stands as a reminder not only of Payne's contributions but also represents countless other brave women who served on the frontlines during wartime. As we admire this remarkable artifact from our past, let us honor all those who have dedicated their lives to medicine and science while breaking down barriers along the way.
