NOAA has released a photo essay of historic photos to capture different experiences of African Americans in important fisheries in US history. The images range from the late 1800s to 1970. The Mirror has taken a subset of these images, focusing on oyster and crab
These images of men and women show a side to fisheries that we often forget, the human faces of those who capture, transform them to seafood.

Sorry, I can’t help but throw blatant sarcasm at this one……………….I hope none of the current pages from The Va. Senate attend a meeting with Ms. Northam and are fed a crab or oyster. If they had any idea the poor wages those workers were paid……It might cause a deadly outbreak of ingested and imagined civil rights issues. OR, is that what actually happened and the fake news folks didn’t notice what they had for lunch ? Not that they would ever miss the real story……….

I am doing ancestry search. It is too bad the names of the people in the pictures are not listed. They could be long lost family.
