A postcards with a set of four black-and-white images from the Bahamas on the front and text at the center.

The second image on the top middle is of young children playing instruments, including flutes and snare drums. The second image in the bottom middle is a large group of people, presumably members of the National Baptist Convention and locals in front of the Nursery and Center, established with the help of the National Baptist Convention’s Secretary, Rev. T. Theo. Lovelace. The fourth image is right, with president of the National Baptist Convention’s Women’s Auxiliary, Sara W. Layten posing with a local policeman.
