The houses remind me of the ones described in Zora Neale Hurston's book "Their Eyes Were Watching God"

Houses like this were common in Southeast Texas and Lousianna into the 1980's.

I think you should be able to say "negro," although I haven't actually heard it used in years. There might be some people offended by it (you can always find somebody who is offended by something) but it doesn't have the deadly taboo status of that other "n word."

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

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.
