Description
A black and white image of a sorority parade float moving in front of the campus at Bethune-Cookman University. The float is at the forefront of the image. The float is decorated in aluminum, and three African American women in white dresses sit on top, waving to the crowd and holding a bouquet of roses each. On the back of the float are five American flags blowing in the wind. The side of the float reads, "Freedom + Liberty... The Key to Tomorrow's America." A variety of trees can be seen lining both sides of the street, including very tall palm trees. On the right side of the image and the right side of the street can be seen a white building where spectators stand watching the parade. A steeple from a church can also be seen. Utility poles also stand out on the right side of the street. In the street, in the distance behind the float in the foreground, can be seen another car with a float, as well as a bus. Spectators line the left side of the road, standing on the sidewalk, which is in front of the Bethune campus. At the left of the image, the building closest to the foreground is Cookman Hall, which has a triangle-shaped roof. To the immediate right of Cookman Hall, and considerably smaller, is Harrison Rhodes Hall, which is divided into three partitions, the middle partition being two-stories. On the back of the image is written "Sorority float in Homecoming parade 1965." The photographer of the image is unknown.
