The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Possum Town

A preacher with a baptismal group on the bank of the Tombigbee River, circa 1930s. “When I found these pictures and I saw white people standing behind the Black people, and then I saw Black people standing behind the white people, I thought, What’s going on?” Hudson remembers. “There’s plenty of pictures of both Black baptisms and white baptisms in the South, but you don’t see this. And now we know that they were there at the same time, watching each other get baptized.”
