This is so interesting

I've been wandering again. This time I started at the web site for the PBS special, Race - etc., and found myself at the Black History at HarpWeek site, which is loaded with material from Harper's Weekly, the 19th century's leading illustrated newspaper (it says here). One of the many bizarre interests I have is history, and I get a big kick out of reading the original source material. This site has editorial cartoons, short stories, Civil War and Reconstruction related material … all right up my alley.

Original source material is great because it always contains nasty surprises for the current generation, no matter which side of the veil you live on.
