African Americans in Georgia 1890-1900

Children sitting on porch in Georgia  1899-1900

From the Du Bois albums of photographs of African Americans in Georgia exhibited at the Paris Exposition Universal in 1900

This photo is from a series of photographs collected by Du Bois of African American life in in America from 1890 -1900. What I find fascinating is the number of people  identified as African American in these albums who do not appear to be African American.
