The Kinsey African American Art & History Collection

These tintypes have come to us without any documentation, and the names of the people have long been lost to history, but these proud and dynamic portraits suggest scenarios of achievement and accomplishment. They provide a snapshot of the accomplishments of African Americans after the end of the Civil War, until their newfound freedoms were extinguished by repressive legislation and Supreme Court decisions toward the end of the nineteenth century.
