It's only by coincedence that days after the US government welcomed a group of White South Africans (giving them refugee status saying they face discrimination and violence at home) that I watched this fascinating #documentary on the work of #photographer #ErnestCole. In the 1960s Cole smuggled his prints of Apartheid images out of his homeland to New York where they were published in a book - #HouseofBondage (1969). It was the only book published during his lifetime. There was no interest in his equally provocative photos of Negro Life in America.

The documentary Ernest Cole: Lost & Found is streaming on Hulu. I hightly recommend it.
