Portrait of Miss MVC during the homecoming parade

Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A car with the roof folded back drives through the photos left frame; a banner which reads "MISS M.V.C." hangs from the car's left front door. Reflections in the windshield obscure the face of the man driving while the three women seated in the backseat are clearly visible. They are dressed formerly in hats and white gloves as part of a parade. The people lining the streets anticipate the next car cruising past. From left to right: Louise Washington, Ina C. Rucker Miss MVC 1956 & 1957, Thelma Patterson.
