As I was cleaning out one of my closets for a redo, I went through some photo boxes and found these two envelopes.
1st envelope was filled with Poppy's photos (my grandfather) who saved these photos from where....I don't know. Maybe they came from green cards, he was born in St. Vincent....what ever the case, it is an interesting find. See the video here Poppy
2nd Envelope What a great find! I was cleaning up for and pulled out some old photos and found this envelope of interesting portraits. It has my Mothers name on the envelope, so maybe she got this in college, she was a graduate of Hunter College. These two artist were commissioned to create these portraits of Outstanding Negro (the term used in the 40's up to 70's).
