Description

A black and white image of a parade float for a Bethune-Cookman University parade. The float has a cage design, four on each corner of the float. In each of the "cages" is an African American woman. Each of the women are dancing, and are wearing striped and paisley dresses and boots. At the front of the float behind the cage sits an African American male in a suit, who is leaned over, playing a clarinet. Two girls sit beside him in the middle of the float. The float is decorated in aluminum paper, crepe paper, and music notes. On the side of the float is a banner which reads, "Alpha Phi Alpha A Go Go." The float is attached to a car, of which the tale end and hookup is visible. Behind the float, on the sidewalk, can be seen the businesses. The building on the left has a brick edifice. In the window reads the business sign, "Southern Life Health Insurance Company." To the left of this building is another brick building with outdoor neon sign that reads "Hotel." To the left of this building is a white building. At the lower left hand corner of the image can be seen the Bethune-Cookman marching band, and beyond that can be seen a sign that reads "Daytona Radio & TV." Utility poles can also be seen in this image. On the back of the image written in blue ink is "#1, Job 3718-68, page 253, Homecoming float." The stamp of the photographer's studio is also on the back, which includes the address and phone number. There is also a taped piece of paper that reads, "3718-7, Page no. 253-1, Camera (Reduce) 44, Exposure A6." The date, 1965, is also written on the back.
