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.
This photographic slide depicts a man being placed on a stretcher by several other people. Only the man's head is visible between two people standing over him. One man, dressed in a white short sleeve shirt, bends over the prone individual, and holds the individual's head in his hands. The woman standing next to him, standing with her back to the viewer, wears a hooded jacket with a scarf around her neck. The slide mount has text on the reverse that reads "processed by/ rogers color lab corp. / new york."
