When taking into account that the abolition of slavery in the U.S.A has been implemented since 1865, this woman wasn't a slave. This sharecropper woman undoubtedly had a not that easy life however. Your perfectly done colorization has 'softened' the hardship somewhat, but I'm glad that I hadn't to live in that era. Excellent work per usual, my friend!

Your color coordination of her hat and clothing, captures a pride that we hope she still possesses. She looks somewhat apprehensive in the shot but that could be due to the fuss of a photographer being present.
Sharecropping was a tough row to hoe.
Well done once again.

Not only being a slave was in itself horrible, but slaves were used to test new vaccines throughout periods of experimentation. Especially in Jamaica.
EDIT: Sorry for any confusion I may have caused by bringing up the horrible situation of slavery and vaccine experimentation on slaves. Being an American and having gone to public schools, I know when slavery finally ended in our country and that this lady was not a slave. My reference was just a further note on a horrible practice conducted on a group of people since the 1600's.
