African American girl birthday photo album
Content Description
This collection contains a photo album containing fifteen original black-and-white photographs from the 1960s of a birthday celebration of a young Black girl and her family. The participants are unidentified; each picture displays different moments of celebration, from playing games, blowing out candles, accepting presents, and receiving fake spankings administered by grown-ups wielding a dishwashing brush. The photographs, 3.25" x 3.25", are in plastic sleeves in a contemporary square, spiral-bound, blue leatherette album.
