Add to SetSummary
Photographic cards like this one, with their glued-on labels, were a preliminary step taken by Dexter Press before producing postcards for small business owners to mail or hand out. During the first half of the 20th century, Jim Crow laws in the South dictated racial segregation in public places. African-American barber shops became centers for both socializing and political activism.
