A Black photographer added himself to places where history didnâ??t want him

quote [ No matter that this man is handsome and of spotless character â?? heâ??s Sidney Poitier, for crying out loud â?? his presence, in all its Blackness, marks an intrusion, upending this hitherto White space. ]

This is absolutely fascinating. I can't help but to imagine the lives and beliefs of the people in these photographs, and to wonder what they'd think of Omar.

Neat. It would be fun if someone saw these pictures and recognized relatives.

That kind of thing does happen. A few years ago, I saw a picture of my mother and aunt on Tumblr, posted by an account that posts "vintage" photographs. The person said they found it on eBay, which is nuts to me.
