Periodically I will post vintage photographs featuring African Americans. I love looking at old vintage photos and ephemera. What I have found lacking though are African Americans in collectible vintage photographs. Slowly the tide is turning and images of African Americans from "back in the day" are popping up. I feel that these old photographs are important because it gives the present generation a clearer view of black people during the 19th century on up to the 1970's.
The following photographs are specifically portraiture images. I love everything about these photos from the stylish clothing to the expressions on their faces.
I am very thankful for the invention of the camera and for the talented photographs who took these pictures for posterity.
