Father and daughter in front of the Family Home --- at least it looks like what are the homes of others in this series. I would rather hope is is their little barn or tool shed. Apparently, "he has an axe to grind..... or more likely, that's a cycle or a scythe. Once "freed", many of the former slaves and their children had no where to go. These are the houses built mostly during the "Slave Years" --- before the Civil War, and Lincoln's "Emancipation Proclamation" . *************************************** "......On Tuesday, July 30, 2008, the U.S. House of Representatives issued an unprecedented apology to black Americans for the institution of slavery, and the subsequent Jim Crows laws that for years discriminated against blacks as second-class citizens in American society......"

Okinawa_Soba has a lot original images of the descendants of slaves in America, as well as several showing actual slaves who were "freed" during the America's Civil War. To match these images, he also has a box of 19th Century and early 20th Century images of "Black Africa", showing the tribes, roots, and culture that is now a universe away from the modern day existence of "African Americans". Behind the faces of these few images I'm posting here, are lives and experiences that most White people in America will never understand -- either then, or now. [This caption is the same for all.

They say truth is stranger than fiction, and they’re not wrong. We often look for entertainment on the big screen or media only to forget the biggest amusement park of wonder, exploration and ingenuity called human history.
This photograph is taken from H’s paternal grandmother’s photograph album. Unfortunately we do not have any idea who the children are. It is a delightful image in a studio setting, realistically set up with foliage and flowers along with a pretty lace curtained window as a back-drop. It is interesting how much detail has gone into the studio setting, and how lifelike it looks. On closer inspection there is an air of seriousness about the children’s expressions, and they do not look as carefree as children would today. The eldest girl seems to be offering reassurance to the little blond girl, by placing her hand in a motherly way on her shoulder. We question whether or not they are actually wearing their own clothes, and did the little boy really wear those spectacles? The two girls sitting on the bench are holding a cat and a doll, which presumably belonged to the photographer. May be all of this is the reason that they do not look entirely comfortable. We should love to know more about them, who they are, and what became of them.
History is full of strange and fascinating stories that are often overlooked in traditional education. From obscure historical figures to bizarre events, there is always something new to discover and learn. The addition of vintage photography to this mix of history facts, not only provides context but also a visual representation of the era, making it more relatable and vivid.

My grandmother is 93 years old. She's still active, still known to talk smack, sit down and proceed to beat us at whatever game we're playing. She's amazing. We took some time to talk about her life experiences, what it was like for her growing up in Oklahoma. Something she said really stuck with me.

In the mid-2000s, historian Anna Pegler-Gordon said that visual media often seems more accessible to her students than the written record. They claimed images make the past seem more accessible, giving concrete shape to a world that sometimes seems intangible. Not to mention the immediacy of the image, which often conveys information more quickly than a primary document written in an unfamiliar, or even a foreign, language. But according to Pegler-Gordon, this immediacy also works well in discussion sections, where the shared experience of viewing a picture can provide a focus for lively group discussion.
I've had many people say "slavery wasn't that bad," and when they speak that nonsense, I often don't respond well. Today, here's my response.

(Continued from 1954) As might be expected, the story of "Moses" continues, including "The Ten Commandments"! Also covered this year, "Joshua and the Fall of Jericho", "Samson", and once again, "David and Goliath". In addition, there's the stories of "David and Saul", "Solomon", 3 stories about the prophet "Elijah", and finally, the story of "Mattathias", and "The Maccabees". Despite being a lifelong church-goer, I've never been a heavy reader of The Bible, and these last 4 installments were all mostly unknown to me. It's no doubt one reason I tend to appreciate movies or comics that have adapted Bible stories.

The Story of an Hour is a short story written by Kate Chopin on April 19, 1894, and published in Vogue on December to 1894.
George was born into slavery in the winter of 1806 in Caswell, North Carolina to Kizzy and her master, Tom Lea, who named him "George" after his first slave, George. He was conceived when his mother was repeatedly raped by her new master after her arrival on the Lea Plantation from Virginia. Even though her son was born because of rape, Kizzy still loved and raised George. At age 12, Lea moved George out of his mother's cabin to live at the gamecock pen where Uncle Mingo lives and trains fightin

Barney Ford was born a slave in Virginia. At the age of twenty-fire, he escaped and began a successful career in a variety of entrepreneurial ventures. In the hope of discovering gold in California, Ford purchased ship passage for himself and his wife, Julia, by way of Nicaragua. Central America proved lucrative and Ford decided to stay. In 1851, he opened the United States Hotel and Restaurant, which hosted many American dignitaries. However, Nicaragua's reinstatement of slavery forced him to return to the United States. He and his wife opened a livery stable in Chicago, which doubled as a station for fugitives migrating to Canada. By 1860, he was living in Denver and became a prosperous tycoon in the hotel, restaurant, and barbershop businesses, earning the nickname the "Black Baron of Colorado." Throughout the Civil War, he gave financial assistance, food, and jobs to escaped and free African Americans.
