Description

A black and white image of male and female African American students standing outside in an arch-shape. The men and women are wearing commencement caps and gowns, and are each holding a commencement program and a lit candle. They all appear to be singing. One man is wearing dark sunglasses, another man is wearing regular eyeglasses, and a female student is wearing regular eyeglasses. The stained glass windows from Heyn Chapel can be seen behind them. They are most likely singing a hymn following the yearly tree-planting ceremony which occurred at each commencement. On the back of the image is stamped in black ink "Photo by Theodore Johnson, Bethune-Cookman College, Daytona Beach, Florida."
