EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of poor African American families residing in the cottages or quarters of Thomasville, Georgia, circa 1895. The image presents a poignant snapshot of a community where people sit and stand outside their modest homes, engaging in various activities. The cottages, with their weathered exteriors and simple design, offer a glimpse into the living conditions of African Americans during this era. The occupants, dressed in their Sunday best or in work clothes, exude a sense of resilience and dignity despite the challenging circumstances. Children play nearby, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the scene. The photograph also reveals the communal spirit of the community, as people interact with one another, sharing stories, laughter, and support. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the rich history and diverse experiences of African Americans in the late 19th century, offering a valuable contribution to our understanding of the past.
