Summary:
Columbia, South Carolina of the 1920's and 1930's is chronicled by photographs by Richard Roberts and text by the author. One reader thought the text was too childish.
Teaching Ideas:
The expressive photographs of African Americans in their professional and family settings make excellent prompts for discussion and writing. What does the photograph say about the subjects? Why did the subjects have their pictures taken? Students might want to rewrite the text from a more adult perspective. Students could make their own books using old family photos.
