The letters and other records of people’s service tell one important story, but what role did portrait photography play for Black men enlisted in the Civil War? Why was it important that they not only serve but be photographed in uniform?
Portrait of an unidentified African American soldier When did you start your research for the book in earnest? [Around] 2010, 2012, about the same time as Envisioning Emancipation. But I needed to go a little further and deeper into the stories that captivated me that were not visualized but [captured] through the diaries and oral histories. I spent probably nine years looking for extended stories. My husband is from South Carolina, so I spent all of the ’70s going to different sites in South Carolina where there were battlegrounds and photographing that area. So I went back after some 30 years, and that’s when I started saying, okay, this has to be a book. That’s when I started the research and wanted to frame a story that was based on photography, letters, and diaries.
