Description

A black and white image of Mary McLeod Bethune standing with a minister, another woman, a bride, and a groom. The image is a posed portrait, probably taken after a wedding ceremony. Mary McLeod Bethune is standing in the back row at the left, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a black and white dress, a pearl necklace, and white gloves. To her right is an African American male, who is wearing a minister's uniform. To the right of him is a woman in a light-colored dress , who is wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a corsage, and is holding a purse in her left hand. Seated in front of them are the bride and groom. The bride is at the left, and is wearing a cathedral-length veil, a lace wedding dress with a cathedral-length train, lace gloves, and is holding a large bouquet in her arms. To her right is the groom, who is wearing a white undershirt and a black tuxedo, and a boutonniere. It is unknown who the bride and groom are, except to say that it is not Mary McLeod Bethune's son, Albert. On the back of the image is written in pencil, "Dr. Bethune and wedding party, 1930's." The photographer of the image is unknown.
