A black-and-white photograph of a large crowd watching the dedication ceremony of the Mary McLeod Bethune Memorial in Lincoln Park in Washington, D.C on July 10, 1974.

The people in the foreground are seen from the back while another group on the left side of the image are seen from the front. A few people standing closest to the memorial appear to be dressed in United States Park Service uniforms and hats. Many trees are visible in the background. The photograph is attached to a thick mounting board. The board is stamped and inscribed on the back. This image is identical to 2011.15.275 and similar to 2011.15.330.
