She sold hair care and cosmetics exclusively for black women which went out of business in the early 80s but has been revived and sold at Sephora. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/03/self-made-madam-cj-walker-company-true-story

Fraterville Mine disaster Jacob Vowell and his son Elbert along with about 200 other miners were killed "“Ellen, darling, goodbye for us both. Elbert said the Lord has saved him. We are all praying for air to support us, but it is getting so bad without any air. Ellen I want you to live right and come to heaven. Raise the children the best you can. Oh how I wish to be with you, goodbye. Bury me and Elbert in the same grave by little Eddie. Godbye Ellen, goodbye Lily, goodbye Jemmie, goodbye Horace. We are together. Is 25 minutes after two. There is a few of us alive yet. Jake and Elbert Oh God for one more breath. Ellen remember me as long as you live Goodbye darling.”

I have a digital version of this on my phone

A tree grows in oxford.

At first it was only afraid. ;-)

Nowdays they'd hire you and pay you enough to pay 25% of the rent

first you kill them, then commemorate them in a coin.

I don't know, why are most people today thinking, that our ancestors 2-3 or more thousand years ago, were "dumber" as the 21st century people. Sure, the technology was not as advanced, like today's is, but they had the knowledge.

MASSIVE

If only we had some sort of vaccine. 😭

How many souls on board? Does anyone know?

That is not the oldest tree. There are several trees considerably older.

I'm sure there were all kinds of stories to be told on that stoop

If you have been to the American Adventure at Epcot in Walt Disney World, you have seen this scene. This photo was the direct inspiration for one of the segments of the show. https://thedisneynerdspodcast.com/2021/08/26/its-all-in-the-details-epcots-american-adventures-general-store/

I know where that is. It's still there last I checked

Where’s the before pic?

Looks like my house👍

Chesterfields, Texaco and Coca-Cola all basically the same red. Interesting.

I have gotten gasoline from the type of pump on the left. You hand pump the gas into the graduated cylinder on top (up to 5 gallons) and then gravity lets it flow into your tank.

Where in NC?

This photo has been around for a long time.

It's long gone now, but back around 1975 there was a gas station like this--and nothing else--in a Florida town called Blitchton. Literally the same type of gas pump, and a similar raised general store. It had modern "welcome to" signs on either side of the road. I drove past it one day years later to find the store--and by definition the town--had burned down. I have long regretted never taking a picture.

Love this, and would love to have that pump and those signs!

Resembles a Norman Rockwell painting.

Whistle Stop cafe?

A genius

He looks like he’s wearing a bindi except it cost a lot of pain to get it

Child labor in the US was stopped during the Great Depression of the 1930s, to make more jobs available to adults. Nobody in power had much of a problem with children working full-time, instead of going to school.

Civil War reunions, attended by both sides, were very common at the end of the 19th century and early 20th. Former soldiers would meet up with friends they had not seen in decades and formerly reconcile with the other side. The last great reunion was in 1938 on the 75th anniversary of Gettysburg.

Der Hund!

I bet it cornered like a dream

These days to be a veteran of 4 US wars, you only need to have 'served' 1 year...

Beautiful
