A portable cane mill. The owner gets every sixth gallon for making the sorghum syrup. This is on the property of a Negro owner, Wess Cris, a tobacco farm of about 165 acres in a prosperous Negro settlement near Carr, Orange County, North Carolina. They are straining it into a barrel, measured by a gallon can.
Marion Post Wolcott, photographer

Most of what I post here is history. These are the images and accounts of how people worked, raised families, built communities, worshiped, maintained relationships, expressed themselves and coped with changes and challenges in the past. The subjects of these posts are usually people of color.
