About Waiting to Be Found
The book Waiting to Be Found: The Lost Treasure of Fannie Keene is about the people pictured in a 19th century photograph album owned by a former slave named Fannie.
My mother and I began the research together in 2003 part time using the few clues we were provided to try and identify who these people were. Few images bore an inscription and more often than not we were left with only the clothing they wore as a clue.
Fannie was born in Harvey, Mississippi in 1842 and lived to be 83 years old. Over a period of approximately 60 years she amassed a collection of nearly 80 photographs, mostly of other African-Americans. Nearly 100 people are pictured.
