Zazzle's collection of vintage photographs has an amazing assortment of classic images ranging from the historic to the whimsical. This commemorative card features a reproduction of a photograph of African American law school graduates at Howard University in Washington DC; the original photo was part of a series of photographs compiled by W.E.B. Du Bois. Du Bois was committed to combating racism and he felt that displaying photographs of affluent young African American men and women challenged the so-called scientific evidence and popular racist caricatures of the day; taken in 1899.
