Description
A black and white image of a large group of people awaiting the arrival of President Herbert Hoover to the Bethune-Cookman University campus. On the right side of the image stands White Hall, with a brick edifice and a columned entrance. Hanging from the front of the image are three red, white, and blue banners with stars on them. Two of the windows on the second floor are open, and a few African American men are looking out the windows at the spectators below. At the back of the photograph on the left side of the image can be seen Flora B. Curtis Hall, with a brick edifice. It is partially obscured by tall trees, including palm trees. The spectators are lined on either side of the dirt road loop that runs in front of White Hall and Curtis Hall. The spectators are African American males and female. The men are dressed in varieties of three-button suits, ties, button-up shirts, dress pants, and dress shoes. The women are dressed in various styles of overcoats, blouses, skirts, stockings, and heeled shoes. Many of the men and women are wearing hats. Some women are holding purses. Many of the spectators appear to be looking off into the distance, waiting for a vehicle of some sort to appear, presumably carrying President Hoover. On the back of the image is written in pencil "Waiting for Herbert Hoover's visit, 1929." A number "1" is also stamped in black ink. The photographer of the image is unknown.
