Really wish there was information under these images about the women, but here are some fancy historical Black Ladies of Color to inspire your stories.
For example, one of the images from the link:

Mrs Eleanor Xiniwe (née Ndwanya) of the [South] African Choir, 1891. Photographed by London Stereoscopic Company studios.
We definitely recommend seeking out the sources to any images you’re interested in to find out background.
