Description

A black and white image of a large group of people gathered outside celebrating a Christmas party. In the photo can be seen varieties of trees, some covered in Spanish moss, and also scrub palm trees. Beyond the crowd, across a dirt road, can be seen a open field next to white two-story house with a porch. The dirt road is lined on either side with a sidewalk. A male figure carrying something in his right hand can be seen stepping onto the sidewalk in front of the house. Telephone poles are also visible in the photograph. At the left of the image are ten benches which are set up at different angles, and about half are occupied by spectators. The crowd is making a semi-circle around a central figure, a man, and a table with baskets of unidentified goods on it. The crowd is made up of mostly male and female African American students, who are dressed in varieties of the school's white uniforms. Some adults are standing off to the side. The females are wearing long dresses and the men are wearing suit jackets and pants. The figure who is the focus is a tall woman who is wearing a long white shawl and white skirt. Next to her is a person sitting on a box of some sort, who appears to be dressed in a costume. They are next to the oversized table. Written on the front of the photograph in pen is "Christmas Party for the 'Around the World Story Hour Club'". On the back is printed in blue ink "26". The significance of this number is unknown. The photographer of the image is unknown.
