Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

Black-and-white photograph (a) of a group of eleven people in front of a door to a brick building. Several of the people are holding folders. The back of the photograph has a handwritten inscription on the back in black ink identifying the subjects in the image, but the photograph has been cropped and only part of the inscription is visible. The photograph is accompanied by a typewritten note that appears to have the same information as the handwritten inscription. It reads [Federal Project S-132 1936-37 / "Training and Employment of White Collar and Skilled Negro Workers." / Front Row (Left to Right: Mary S. Williams, Supervisor, AD Oden, Hortense Finley. Back: Emma Ward, Flora Carey, Artie Johnson, Ilene Nichols, Harrison Wheeler, Edna B. Billups.].
