Darkroom

Random But Beautiful

Undercover Brother pointed me in the direction of this Flickr page, which features almost 200 beautiful old pictures of black women scanned from historical books and magazines. They date as far back as the 1800s, and I could have spent all morning looking at them.

Wow! Thanks for post Lauren! It's great to have alternative pictures of Blacks (other than the oh so popular, hair uncombed sitting in filth and squalor pics normally shown) in pre-civil rights America.
