In photography's very early days, many African Americans earned their living as photographers. Yet their work was often overlooked or ignored. Historians and museums curators passed them over; books supposedly documenting the history of photography made no mention of them. It was as if they didn't exist. This book profiles some outstanding African-American artists from the first century of photography in America: Jules Lion, Augustus Washington, James P. Ball, the Goodridge brothers and many more.
