This wood engraving, "Hi! H-o-o-o! He Done Come. Jumboloro Tell You Fust-", created by Winslow Homer in 1869, depicts a dramatic scene from the American Civil War era. A Black man, possibly a formerly enslaved person, shouts in excitement as he holds a stick high above his head, while a white woman watches from a porch. This illustration, which was published in Harper's Weekly magazine, captures the joy and chaos of the moment as the news of the arrival of Union soldiers reaches a small community.
