Description
A black and white image of Mrs. Edith Alexander, left, and an NYA student, who is demonstrating a machine. Edith Alexander is wearing a suit jacket and skirt, and is wearing a hat. Next to her is the NYA student, who is wearing coveralls and a button which reads, "National Youth Administration Work Experience Center." Her name and identification number is printed on the button, but it cannot be made out. To the right of them is a sign advertising the services to be learned: "Radio Communications, Aviation Aircraft, Auto Mechanics, Clerical, Drafting, Power Sewing." Two men can be seen reading the sign through the glass. On the back of the photograph is written "NY-25." Mary McLeod Bethune was the director of Negro Affairs for the National Youth Administration, and most likely acquired this image during her time as an NYA agent. The photographer of the image is unknown.
