This talk considers a small group of friendship albums owned and circulated by free black women in antebellum Philadelphia. Beyond the simple affirmation and cementing of friendship bonds, these albums contain tantalizing traces of other histories and engagements, from black women's scientific networks and art-making to philosophies of black femininity and abolition.
