Feb, 1st, 2016: Colored Irish
Marguerite Mespoulet and Madeleine Mignon-Alba, two French women, traveled to Ireland in 1913 and took what are believed
to be the first colored photographs(Autochrome) of Ireland. Not as documentarians or ethnographers, but as tourists wanting to show what they saw, as they saw it. Before the world was debauched by the industrial revolution, two World Wars and selfies. Quote:

But, it doesn't. So, I can't. Cuz, it isn't. Carry on.

Referring to all the black people with Irish names, Michener mentioned in Chesapeake that the south had large plantations with hundreds of slaves. But the tidewater area and Delmarva, had hundreds and hundreds of Scots and Irish who had 4 or less slaves. Many of these slaves took their master's names when emancipated.

My Great Aunt - born in England of Irish parents, considered herself Black Irish.
Purely as a way to describe the fact she wasn't ginger-haired (Red Irish). My Grandad - her brother - was called Celtic Fair. Which sounds like somewhere you go to drink Guiness and look at horses. I get the impression that between the Wars, making up spurious names made the Winter evenings pass more quickly... Interesting IoTD though, Bruce.
