Caption: A delightful and unique depiction of Thanksgiving celebrations from a century ago, this vintage postcard dated 1910, titled "Thanksgiving Greetings," showcases the joy and exuberance of African American children during the festivities. The image captures two boys proudly riding a turkey, a symbol of the holiday, through a lively scene filled with laughter and merriment. The boys' bright clothing and broad smiles convey the spirit of gratitude and happiness that Thanksgiving represents. Surrounding the central scene, various other elements of the holiday are depicted. A watermelon, a popular Thanksgiving food for African Americans during this era, lies nearby, adding to the vibrant and colorful display. In the background, American flags with their distinctive stars and stripes flutter in the wind, symbolizing patriotism and pride in the country's history. This postcard offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing an insight into how Thanksgiving was celebrated a hundred years ago, particularly for the African American community. The image is not only a testament to the enduring traditions of the holiday but also a reminder of the rich cultural history that continues to shape our modern-day celebrations.
