    I love the little girl in the dress. Also, I like the little baby with the overalls. One of his overalls is hanging off of his little shoulder. It is so adorable.

    Man, this is some Jim Crow shotgun shack grinding poverty. Nothing adorable about it.

    From Random House: "Juke joint (or jook joint) is the vernacular term for an informal establishment featuring blues music, dancing, and alcoholic drinks, primarily operated by African American people in the southeastern United States. The term "juke" is believed to derive from the Gullah word joog, meaning rowdy or disorderly."

    Thanks for sharing! I'm currently reading "Black Cloud" which is about the hurricane of 1928, so this really caught my attention today. :)
