Personal Review: The Face of Our Past: Images of Black
Women from Colonial America to the Present
i was amazed at the photos. i could not help but to wonder if any of these
women and men could be my ancestors. you see so many similarites in
the faces on the pages to people you see everyday. i wish there were
more in the captions to explain the photos. but when you consider the time
that many of these photographs were taken, the captions are in the faces
and the demeanor of the subjects. why? is probably the question that could

never be answered. and if a reasonable explanation could somehow be
given it wouldn't be enough. no matter how broken the mother, father,
sister, brother in these photograghs looked. i wish they could all know that
their unbearable weight, sorrow and pain helped to develop a strong,
defiant, capable and proud race of people.
