The Thomas Worth "Darktown" prints are included in this gallery because they reflect an important era in the history of the United States. It should be noted that most of the Darktown series, if viewed with an objective eye, portray the African American community in a light hearted vein, and not in an overtly malicious one. This was an important step in the education of American society.
