Description
A black and white photograph of a large crowd of African American men and women gathered in front of White Hall on the campus of Bethune-Cookman College. The crowd is dressed in suits and dresses. Their attention is on the entrance to White Hall, which is columned and from which hangs patriotic red, white and blue banners. Under the half-circle banner, standing on the steps, are two women. The woman at the left with her hand raised in the air is Mary McLeod Bethune. The tall, Caucasian woman to the right of her is Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady. The windows can be seen on the exterior of the building, and people can be seen standing in the windows, watching the event. On the back of the image is written, "Mrs. Bethune speaking - political gathering - BCC campus, late 1940's." The image is printed on Kodatone paper. The photographer of the image is unknown.
