Original caption on front: Magic City Council no. 221 A-U-K and D of A. Juvenile Dept. Most Excellent Queen Mrs. Annie Shoecraft. May 29th 1926, Muncie, Ind. Transcription from back of photo: This photograph was taken on Saturday May 29, 1926. It was the weekend before Memorial Day. Bands in Muncie's black community used to "TURNOUT" on Mothers Day and march down Hackley Street to Jackson Street, turn East and march to Bethel and Calvary churches on Jackson. The Lodge (Masonic) was located at Willard and Hackley Streets. Apparently this affair had something to do with celebrating Memorial Day in 1926. In 1926 the Lodge Halls were located at 110 1/2 N. Walnut Street. It is believed this photo was shot in the 900 block of East Jackson Street because of the curb and sidewalk in the photo. The photograph was given to Hurley Goodall by Mr. Mel Davis prior to his death. People in the photograph have not been identified. By: Hurley C.
