"At Harrodsburg, KY, where we spent the night on the way to Florida, Oct 1951."
NOTICE: This photograph is racially offensive by today’s standards and an example of a long legacy of cultural practices meant to disempower African American people. This photo participates in the racism that was normalized and accepted by the dominant culture, but that has always been critiqued by Black Americans. We include this photo in the archive to ensure that past cultural practices are remembered, interpreted, and dismantled.
