About Us
Welcome to Black History Album, a photo gallery chronicling how Black America lived, loved, worked celebrated, worshipped and more, from the end of slavery in the 1860′s to the black power movement of the 1960′s. If you enjoy peering into the past, we invite you to browse our collection. If you don’t see anything of interest today, be sure to bookmark us and check back often. This site will remain a “work in progress” since we’re always discovering fabulous, vintage African American photo and historical images.
