African American Schoolgirl Class Photo Archive, 1950s
Photo Archive
[African American] [Education] Photo archive of African American schoolgirls in the 1950s. 15 silver gelatin print photos. Photos range in size from 3" x 3" to 4.25" x 3", all are black and white silver gelatin prints printed on Kodak Velox paper. These vernacular photos document jovial times at the end of the school year for a group of African American girls. It is around the beginning of June and the students are congregating outside of the school auditorium, hugging and rejoicing before summer break sets in. This school seemed to be predominately Black but there also seem to be some white students photographed. The fashion of the students pictured suggests this was taken in the mid to late 1950s and the Kodak Velox paper was very popular at that time. Some of the students are wearing semi-formal clothing. There are also three group photos taken elsewhere which appear to depict a school field trip for younger African American students, two of which have a photographers timestamp stating "Mar 1956." Location unclear. In very good condition overall.Item #17832
