When shots were fired at Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, the Civil War began and so did a new era in American photojournalism. But even though the conflict was the first U.S. war to be systematically photographed, photographs of Black Civil War soldiers, 160 years later, are hard to find.

She remarks with apparent disgust that employers cannot legally mandate that all workers be vaccinated, “supposedly because people have the right not to be subjected to medical interventions against their will.”
