Wilson chinn and three white in appearance child slaves
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Wilson Chinn with three children he traveled with who were of presumed mixed heritage and thus considered slaves due to the "one drop rule". In the 1860s, abolitionists circulated photos of pale-skinned, newly emancipated slave children to help raise money for struggling African-American schools in New Orleans, believing that images of "white" looking children would draw more sympathy -- and more money -- from Northern donors. |
