I forgot to put up another post about the Brownies' Book! Here are some illustrations and photographs featured in the magazine during its 24 month run. The anthology is broken up into 6 main sections (including a complete reproduction of the April 1921 issue).

Jess_Read_This Omigosh! This is so interesting and neat to see! Thank you for tagging me so I wouldn't miss seeing this! 7y
diovival @Lcsmcat @Cinfhen @Jess_Read_This I'm glad I could share this with you guys! My parents were concerned about the images I was exposed to growing up. It was really important to them that I see people who looked like me in the stories I read and the dolls I played with. I can only imagine what having access to this magazine may have meant to Black families in 1920s America. 7y
