Note that none of the children are smiling, a testament to the harshlife that childrensuffered under segregation and the Jim Crow laws that were passed to enforce it. The sad truth is that these children were the lucky few whose parents were able to send them to school. For the vast majority of black children at the time,an education at school wasa luxury that they never experienced in their lifetime. Photograph measures 9" x 7" inches.
