Twitter Wordless Wednesday~images of the past
A key solution for identifying individuals, events, dates and locations of photographs is to write the traditional information on the back of images. By giving a very brief: who, what, why, where & when, of the picture, generations later will know the importance & reason for saving the image.
Below are two such photographs, located in an old dusty and very fragile photo album. Besides knowing the location of the photographer's home-base, information as to who these two individuals, or how they are connected, may remain a mystery.

Tombstone Tuesday- - African American Spanish-American War Veteran
____________
Image:
The late James Blackwell, Pvt, U.S. Army, is the only confirmed African American Spanish-American War veteran known to have lived in Onslow County, North Carolina. He was raised in the Swansboro region of the County.
Until officially researched by myself, through Resurrection Mission, his legacy was only known to a few of his direct descendents.
Let us take a moment to ponder the social actions of Pvt. Blackwell's day and try to understand his reasons for serving a Country, to protect certain Freedoms that he did not have the right to share fully for himself.
