why?

I think, sometimes the photographer asks the "model" to look at a certain direction for some kind of photographic effect. Since the child is way too young to understand, I can only assume that the child is curious about the apparatus, hence, looking directly to the camera. Yes, it's a very spectacular photo.

she really looks like an adorable one too

It was only scandalous in contain parts of the world.

We might have come far but I feel we're either standing still or going backwards. I can't get my head around how many people still think they're superior because of the colour of their skin.

Have a friend who has never met her mothers family because they weren't ok with her mother marrying and having a child with a black man. Finland mid 90's.

They'd call him "n****r lover" and straight up refuse to talk to wife or kids because they were "a disgrace to the supreme race" or shid like that. I can only wonder about people, more often to the negative than positive. People suck. This shouldn't even be an issue in the first place, and anyway, they know whom and why they married. Ain't up to anyone else. And ... today, it seems it's still not gotten THAT much further, although, of course, it's not nothing that happened since. But ... we do know better. Every single racist theory, about intelligence or whatever, has been debunked, ripped to pieces, by investigating them honestly. Nowadays, some people get upset about investigatig racists' claims, but ... but, if we hadn't done so, we could FEEL it's wrong. But, thanks to investigations undertaken with all seriousness regardless of how laughable the claims were, we KNOW. Which I consider above feeling in that regard - keep'em racisteries coming, first come, first debunked!

I would say yes. Brave man to follow his heart like that in those times.

Not scandalous in the Republican area at the time. Only the Democrat-dominated in the south.

My great great grandparents lived this and apparently they didn't come into town because of the hatred they faced. One of the sets of parents raised the grandchildren because of appearances? I don't really know all the family history.

I think it was more common than you might think. Formers slaves fled West along with everybody else. Things were still kind of wild in 1890... few things were stigmatized as thoroughly as they are now, including interracial marriages.

Like what??

I am so glad to hear you are with the one you love, no matter what others think! <3 My boyfriend is Chinese, and I'm white, but I was adopted at birth into a Mexican family. My Hispanic family members have NEVER gotten over the fact that I am dating an Asian. We also get plenty of nasty looks/comments from the (mostly) white residents of the city where we live. I used to hear stories from my mom about my Hispanic cousin who married a black man in the early 70s and got completely disowned by the rest of the family (except by my mom, who married a white dude). My cousin got cancer and died many years ago, before I was even born, and (according to my mom), most of the family refused to even reconcile with her on her deathbed. Her children were older than I am (I was born 1982) and have passed away as well, but I have contact with their children (her grandchildren) and they are wonderful people. I wish you and your wife all the best and may your obstacles become miniscule!

Spanish people from Europe are white. Do you mean Hispanic?

Why does someone always have to post something like this, just let people enjoy the photo.

could grow up to be a wool sheep, so it just gets a haircut once or twice a year!

Pretty sure the lamb is gone by now regardless. (And no, I do not eat lamb...)

Can you still hear the screaming, Clarice?

I hope that if they did marry, they found both acceptance and happiness.

Why are they so stunning?? JUST BECAUSE they’re biracial??

Couple or dancing partner?

I’ve watched a few military movies where a lot of black Americans preferred to stay or move to France after that old w.wars due to the racism etc. France was definitely the place to be then if you like living with diversity and wider world views etc

Thank you for the context, Charles LaFage!

Multiple sources credit them as Claude Mocquery and James Campbell. Here’s a picture of Juliette and Miles:https://france-ameri...eyel-1949-1.jpg

I thought the same. Lol

The necklace she’s wearing is called a squash bottom necklace, and are very valuable today IMG_0099-6...d14fa1.png

I must post a dissenting opinion. I freaking HATE "colorized" images. They are NOT realistic (they cannot be, by definition; we are purely guessing at what colors "might" be, such as skin tone) and they completely devalue the gravitas and impact of the black-and-white photo. I am not attacking your opinion directly, as I can understand where you're coming from, but I have always loathed "colorized" historical images. It's defying reality - the original photo is in black and white (regardless of when it was taken) and, in this case, the photographer and/or the subject chose to use b&w (since color photog definitely existed in the 1950s, lol), so it also disrespects the photographer/subject.

If you'd read the comments on Reddit, where this was originally posted by GaGator43, you'd have seen the colorized version of this picture had already been posted by another Redditor. https://imgur.com/olX2lc7 Nothing on Bored Panda is original. Everything is scraped from another site.

Xenon - you read my mind. 😊👍

What an amazing picture! I agree that it would be Interesting to see it in color, but I think the black & white really highlights the beauty - of the jewelry,, and of the young woman.

Use an online image modifier like img2go.com ...
