Black people and Dress, 1930s
Collection by The Many Black Histories
Black Style in the 1930s. I am a proponent of citing sources - the photos need context to my mind. Even an attempt to date the photos using costume history is helpful.

Images displayed here are not owned by the poster and shown here for educational purposes.
