Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

Maybe it's two children and their mother? Just not clear why they'd say two children when there are clearly three people in the picture.

Why do they have to be called NEGRO children?

- shortiekyre, I believe that the titles for these pictures are either the original documentation made by the photographer or the curators at the Library of Congress when cataloging these pictures.

is it necessary to label the photo "Negro boy" surly "boy" will do or if needed to make reference to his race for historical context surly African American. just like to point out that i am not PC mad just thought this title was a little odd. after all this guy is probably alive wonder what he would think to being called "Negro boy"

I guess it must be the original title, or the agency caption as mentioned above. I don't see anything wrong in keeping that title, it reminds us of the mindset of some people in that time and it could even be an anti-racist statement.

I Like the photo but not the tittle.

yes but the title is part of the times the image was taken in
therefore the title itself has a historical context.

it might not be nice or acceptable context, but to change the title as given by the original photographer, changes history. Essentially whitewashing the past.
Emily said:
The titles are all drawn from the original descriptions of the photos - if you browse around on the Library of Congress's American Memory project you'll see a lot of outdated terms sometimes, but that's the way people talked back then. This is part of why they need help from people tagging pictures - we look for pictures using different words than the photographers or librarians back then would have used.
