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 “African American Man” . The picture shows african american man seated, head and shoulders, double breasted coat with wide tie and turned down collar. c.1890.
