It didn't occur to me until a few days ago to search Getty Image archives for vintage Black / African-American photos... and I'm glad it finally came to me.
These photos are great. I'm only posting the Creative photos (as opposed to the Editorial photos). Most of them are posed, and I imagine intended for commercial use in advertisements or pictorials, but the styling is perfect.
