These photos of the love, care and attention given to Georgia Black shortly befit her death in June 1951. The woman combing her hair is the sister of her husband. ♥ A church leader (and of Women's Missionary Society), her story as a trans woman was protected 
by her Pastor, of a Methodist Church.
Her funeral was attended by Black and white mourners, described in Black on Both Sides as, "a remarkable gesture of desegregation" at the time.

The care and dignity shown to this woman in 1951 touched me deeply.
