Description
A black and white National Youth Administration photograph of three NYA members and another man who appears to be a priest, watching as one oils a wood-cutting machine. The man on the right of the image is wearing coveralls and is holding an oil can in his hands. The man to the left of him is African American and is wearing coveralls and an NYA button. The man to the left of him is Asian American and is also wearing coveralls. The priest is wearing a heavy overcoat. Mary McLeod Bethune served as the Director of Negro Affairs for the National Youth Administration during the 1940's, and probably acquired this image during her time as an NYA agent. On the back of the image is written "NY-13." The photographer of the image is unknown.
