These black-and-white photographs were taken by Henry Horenstein in 1997, 2003, and 2006 as part of a project in collaboration with writer and historian Leslie Tucker to document a cluster of communities in southeastern Maryland in which the majority of inhabitants are of tri-racial descent, stemming from intermarriages over centuries between Native Americans, African Americans, and white people. The name of the series and project comes from the phrase "we sort of people," used by local inhabitants to refer to their community.
