[Oe List ...] Photos from Uptown in 1970s

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

I'm grateful to Shelley for sharing this. Now I realize how little I really 
 got out into the neighborhood
 
These pictures are amazing and so is the text, written by a good-hearted  
man with an artist's eye.
 
I want to make one comment. The author called both white and  black 
people's visceral reaction to the image of  the black man hugging the little white 
girl racist. I  disagree. The creep factor isn't racism. The expression on 
the girl's face  makes me think he was a pimp. The picture nauseated me. 
Learning  how much trafficking goes on has made me more aware.
 
There are many stories in those pictures,aren't there? 
 
Thank you again, Shelley.
 
Blessings,
Jann McGuire
