Description
A black and white reprint of an original image of Mary McLeod Bethune and her son Albert McLeod Bethune. Mary McLeod Bethune can be seen in the center of the image, sitting in a chair in the middle of her living room. She is wearing a black suit and heeled shoes, and has her hands resting in her lap and her legs crossed at the ankles. Her head is turned to the left, as she listens to her son read from a "Time" magazine. Albert is standing to the left of his mother, and he is looking down at the magazine he is holding in his hands. The "Time" cover depicts a man in a Nazi uniform, with a sun and a Swastika symbol. The cover is from December 1942, during World War II. To the right of the two of them is a wooden desk. Sitting above the desk at the right, awash in light, is a portrait of Mary McLeod Bethune's parents, Samuel and Patsy McIntosh McLeod. On the back of the image is written in pencil, "Dr. Bethune and son Albert Bethune 1942-1943." The image is printed on Kodak paper. The photographer of the image is unknown.
