Description

This is a black and white photo of a family of about twenty-five women and children posing for a photo on a porch. The family is gathered haphazardly on the stairs leading up to the porch and on the porch. The children are gathered at the bottom of the stairs with three of the women. The other women are standing on the stairs leading up to the porch and looking toward the camera, and the women are all wearing semi-formal attire with tea-length dresses. There is a black woman standing to the right of the stairs, and there is a man standing on the porch to the left of the stairs.
