And of course, wedding photos are aspirational. If I ever get married, I'm definitely going down the aisle in a 1950s silhouette.

I Love Black Men. They are very muscular and i love nothing more to be held by the big black strong arms of a man with negro desent. I also enjoy giving my cat massages. :)
ReplyDeletealso i am from obion county
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures, I wish our community was like this again, when we loved and respected each other and Black men actually loved and married Black women.
ReplyDeleteNone of the bullshit of today except for the fact that there was so much racism in those days that it was necessary to stick together.
The pictures on your site are amazing and very inspirational ... I'm a designer looking for vintage African American women photos I can use as inspiration without copyright infringements ... are there any sites or places you could suggest ... any info would be helpful ... Thanks
ReplyDeleteLovely record of black lives. Thanks for posting.
