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 Woman” . The picture shows a woman seated, head and shoulders, with a lace handkerchief at her throat and small mutton sleeves. c.1890
