This article is an introduction to a series that the NY Times is starting in the month of February to celebrate black history month. Each day during February, the NY Times will be posting previously unpublished photos of black Americans. The point of this article is to introduce and explain why the NY Times is doing this series, as well as to provide insight into the lives of people during the Civil Rights movement of America. The author makes his point by asking questions as to why these photos haven’t been published as of yet. I believe that the author is doing a great job of introducing the series and I am excited to see all of the photos and the stories that they tell.
