At Black Then, we frequently see interesting photos that give us a glimpse into the past. They tend to show us a piece of black history that is often not covered in textbooks, in history classes, or shown in the media.

In a photo that we found on Black History Album , we see this great image called “Martha | 1898” . The picture shows Portrait of African American girl, seated. Hand-colored tintype, c. 1898

The original, unrestored image can be found here
