This is a pretty amazing thread!

I hope it's OK to contribute. @MischievousMonkey

I come across beautiful images all the time while researching Black history and genealogy. Love and much respect to all. :smile:

And please let me know if any of the images are problematic or an issue -- as my contributions are meant to support and show appreciation and love.
