Very powerful image, more so now than when it was taken.

One of the great American images. People wouldn't believe how segregated America really was, and not just down South, either. I love this photo even though it shows the racial bigotry of the time. It captures such an incredible light, it's amazing. I love vintage advertising, too.

I searched "Hungary" and this pic came out as one result. This pic has nothing to do with Hungary.

It could as easily been 1840 as 1940 in this picture. Not much had changed for the African American.

They wonderful pictures, the last time I pick cotton was in 1965, I spend all of my youth, and my teens years picking cotton, I have a picture taken in1950 of my oldest brother on top of cotton, I'm writing a book of my cotton days, I thing this part of our history, of the Mexican, American cotton pickers, not to much is know about us, from the early forties to the middle of the sixties, those were our golden years, than the cotton machine, kind took over, and the Vietnam War, because it took most our young men to War. I was looking at the cotton sacks, our were made different, we had a four inch strap to protect our shoulder, a wire going half way around the mouth of sack, this way it alway stay open, making much easier to throw the cotton, back inside the sack without looking back. I just made my first cotton, made out of duck Canvas, it nine feet long. Thanks again for all the beauiful pictures, Martin Chapa, El Milero
