Real Photo Postcard of Lewis Turpentine Still and Plantation in Brooksville, Florida. The postcard features text that describes the "stark naked truth" about the South's oldest industry and its dependence on Black labor. It warns viewers not to expect a "Broadway Show" but rather an unchanged industry surrounded by the "southern Negro" and their environment. The text claims that the depicted lifestyle, though crude and deplorable in some respects, is more conducive to the welfare and happiness of their Black workers than the social equality offered in the North, which they are not equipped to handle. |
