Description
A black and white National Youth Administration photograph showing Lou Costello and a group of other men watching intently as a female NYA member, wearing coveralls and a bandana, demonstrates a piece of machinery. Lou Costello can be seen standing to the immediate left of the female worker. She is wearing a button which reads, "National Youth Administration." Mary McLeod Bethune served as the Director of Negro Affairs for the NYA during the 1940's, and probably acquired this photograph during her time as an NYA agent. On the back of the photograph is written "NY-15." The photographer of the image is unknown.
