OLD AFRICAN AMERICAN BASKETBALL TEAM PHOTO 1940s
Black & white photograph cut down to an 6 x 9" part-oval shape and pasted on a cardboard mount on which is written “1949". It shows two tall basketball players, a girl holding flowers, and a crowd of spectators.
They may be players from Armstrong High School in Washington, DC.
“In the early part of the 20th century there were only two public high schools for black students in Washington, one of which was Armstrong Manual Training High School. Built in 1902, the school was founded on the educational principles of Booker T. Washington, who advocated industrial, craft, and domestic skills training for African Americans. And Armstrong is where its most famous student, Duke Ellington, studied design and art.
Photo is in pretty good condition as shown in scan of photo & enlarged detail below. Shows excellent detail and contrast.
