In photography's very early days, many African
Americans earned their living as photographers. Yet their work was often
overlooked or ignored. Historians and museums curators passed them over; books
supposedly documenting the history of photography made no mention of them. It
was as if they didn't exist. This book profiles some outstanding
African-American artists from the first century of photography in America: Jules
Lion, Augustus Washington, James P. Ball, the Goodridge brothers and many more.
