We may not have had much but our people had dignity in how they carried themselves, it transcends the photos..

100 years later we are worse off...

great thread and much needed bump…there was a hypothetical choice thread and one of the choices involved living in 1923 and I was a bit surprised by how few ppl knew about how black folks lived during these times…I wasn’t sure if it was a result of youth, stupidity or a mixture of both

Its messed up how some don't talk to their own people. A boomer in the family can at least get you back to the 1940s..
