It is impossible to think of how racist costumes like the ones in this image were ever seen as funny, but times have changed and only photographs from a hundred years ago remain to tell the sad tale. The offered photograph shows two young college girls, a rarity in it's own right, sporting both black face and exaggerated costumes in the 1920's. A rare piece of American history that helps chronicle the story of racism in our culture, this is from the United Press and stamped on the back with a full paper caption as well. A powerful but sad piece of photographic history that is being offered here for the first time ever.
