One of the Muse Brothers lived from 1892 all the way to 2001....Breh actually lived long enough to witness three centuries :wow:

Breh lived through the Spanish-American War, two World Wars, the Harlem Renaissance, the Great Depression, the Cold War/Atomic Age, the Civil Rights Movement, the anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa, the second boom of Afram culture from the 70’s to the 90’s, the devastation of the Crack Era, the 1992 LA Riots, the rise of Michael Jackson, the rise of Hip Hop, Y2K, and an entirely new millennium (don’t know if he passed before or after 9/11 tho). Breh had an incredibly long ass life...Had to have been 108 or 109 when he transitioned to the next life :wow:

Its some inspiring stuff, especially cause we starting to look 1800s up here during that quarantine.

Locs were unexpected.

Looks like hair was more of an afterthought pre 1950s. Most of the day-to-day shots reminded me of my sister when she's halfway through getting her weaves pulled out.
