My Flickr meanderings from earlier this week also led me to an African American Youth album by a user named discover black heritage. The Flickr account is a gold mine of historical photos, and this particular one is filled with gorgeous and sad photos of black children from the first half of the 20th century. As with the earlier photos of women, I could look at these all day. To the left are some paper boys who look like they might not enjoy their job too much.
you guys always post amazing old photos of black people that I've rarely seen in textbooks back in my youth. Keep up the great job.
If you're looking for more, the National Archives has some wonderful images publicly accessible on their website, and even more if you come to the research rooms.
The one of the two little girls on the bench just melts my heart! Thanks for making my Friday!
