A black and white photograph of a parade in downtown Greenville, Mississippi. Captured from the side and slightly in front of the parade, the photograph depicts members of a fraternal organization walking as part of a parade procession in the center of a street. From left to right, two men walk together followed by a man (Arthur Peyton) on a horse, a younger man holding and waving an American flag, followed by additional men behind him. Most of the men wear fez-style caps with tassels, some of the hats are dark in color and others are light. Spectators are visible in the background, gathered on the sidewalk in front of buildings. One of the buildings has an advertisement for Coca-Cola painted on the side and another has a sign for Jax beer. The photograph has a narrow white border.
