Isaac Granger, in his 70s when this striking image was taken in Petersburg in the 1840s. Free for about 20 or so years then, working as a blacksmith. He'd been enslaved by Thomas Jefferson. Granger reportedly "was so much pleased with [the pic] that he had one taken of his wife." pic.twitter.com/hmdrmpKnww
