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.

This color slide depicts three small children in front of an A-frame shelter in Resurrection City. A little girl in a patchwork skirt and white blouse holds a half-eaten apple up to her open mouth with her left hand. She is in profile but turns her head to look directly at the viewer. Next to her is a little boy in a red tee shirt and grey pants, with his arms behind his back. Standing directly behind him is a taller boy, wearing a white red and blue plaid shirt. He rests his left hand on the smaller boy's left shoulder, and turns and looks back over his own right shoulder. The slide mount has text on the reverse that reads "processed by/ rogers color lab corp. / new york."
