Description

Photograph of African American children at play on Division Street in Baltimore, Maryland. In the foreground, a group of about twelve young African American girls engage in a game or play activity with a Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.) supervisor. To their right, three young African American boys stand and watching the game. In the background are a few two-story row houses and, next to the houses, the northwest corner of the Henry H. Garnet Elementary School, which was located on Division near Lanvale Street and contained seventeen classrooms and a library. The street is closed to traffic to provide play space for the children. (Part of W.P.A. project #7012.)
