Response: Affirming Blackness: A Rebuttal to Will South's \A Missing Question Mark: The Unknown Henry Ossawa Tanner\
Replies to \"A missing question mark: the unknown Henry Ossawa Tanner\" by Will South, published in \"Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide\" 8, no.2 (Autumn 2009). Argues that South's construction of an \"unknown\" and \"tragic\" Tanner who is ambivalent about claiming his African American heritage is not supported by the primary documents. Such a construction undermines Tanner's achievements as the one black artist of the 19th century who succeeded in making important paintings in the dominant style of his era that affirmed the centrality and heroism of the African American presence in American life and art.

Visual Representations of Child Labor in the West
In The Making of the English Working Class, E.P. Thompson quoted a passage from an 1842 investigation of children's employment in the coal mines regarding the astonishment of local middle-class professionals \"when girls were brought half-naked out of the pits\": \"Mr. Holroyd, solicitor, and Mr. Brook, surgeon, practising in Stainland, were present, who confessed that, although living within a few miles, they could not have believed that such a system of unchristian cruelty could have existed.\" Child labor needed to be seen to be believed. At the same time, \"[w]e forget how long abuses can continue 'unknown' until they are articulated: how people can look at misery and not notice it, until misery itself rebels\" (Thompson 1963, 342).
