    "It's nice to have digital images to help save and store physical documentation that would eventually crumple away, and i am glad someone has taken the time to save these treasures of human history in the culture of Black America."

    "This collection of photographs is remarkable! It's great to see the history of everyday, ordinary people preserved through pictures...this is a part of history that has been sadly neglected for entirely too long!"

    "An amazing collection of images from our past. This is a stream of images worth delving into, particularly if you are interested in Black history or American history in general."
