African American contrabands and Union soldiers
African American contrabands and Union soldiers at General Lafayettes headquarters near Williamsburg Road, VA, May 1862. They are Civil War refugees from slavery working for wages. Two women do laundry, and a male contraband chops wood. Another contraband reclines near a white soldier, possibly his employer. Photo by James F. Gibson
