Description

A black and white image of male and female African American graduates standing outside in a circle around a tree. The students are wearing commencement caps and gowns. Some of the women at the left of the photograph are holding umbrellas, indicating that it is raining. The group is standing in the grass in front of an unidentified Bethune-Cookman University campus building. Two of the windows are open on this building; an unidentified male is looking out one of the windows down at the group planting the tree. A male graduate at the forefront of the image is holding a shovel and scooping dirt to cover the hole where the tree has been planted. This ceremony is called the "tree planting ceremony," which occurred annually after each commencement. On the back of the image is stamped "Page, Pix no., Order (illegible)." The photographer of the image is unknown.
