Hi Instinct Poet,

 

I'm really looking forward to finding credible prove to back those pictures up, but unfortunately I can't get into the website ! :mad:

I can't believe that those people are Somalis. For one, this could be a cut 'N' PASTE thing. Secondly, they wouldn't be sitting comfortably around white slave owners like that. I think possibily they could've been Muslim Senegalese,who were brought to the U.S.A as slaves.But No, those people can't be Somalis...Plus why would anyone want to flee our beautiful country with all our goats,and camels in 1915 to come to a cold place like Chicago!

 

I'm not buying this! :cool:

1)what woulbe the goal in cut n pasting the pics, what kind of satisfaction would one get in doing so? and 2) theyre not slave owners, slavery ended sometime in the 1890s, AND, although somalis and east aficans didnt generally fall victim to the slave trade, there ARE a few that fell in those traps. in 1915, the jim crow laws is what id be worried about though. but than again, they could just be travelling through.

These somaliyens probably came here as part of an exhibition group.

Those people in the pictures don't look Somali to me. It's not impossible for Somalis to be in the U.S. in or around 1915 tho.
