Hi--
I was wondering about the Iwo Jima picture you posted of the Black troops. Is it from the Library of Congress OWI collection, or a different collection? I'd love to use it. Do you have a TIFF file?

hi Catherine, you'll find this photo, it's number 13, and many others like it at the National Archives Pictures of African Americans During World War II culled by them from many sources.
no tiffs are available online as far as i can tell but i see provisions for ordering slides and such there.
we highlighted a few more with an article here Black Troops at Iwo Jimagood luck with your project, your friend sookietex
