          <p>The newspaper clipping is modern, circa 2000, and features an image of what appears to be an all-Black Boy Scout troop, detailed as Mount Zion Baptist Church Boy Scout troop 69 and dated 1942-1943 in the paper caption. Two other photographs feature groups of young Black people; one has a man in a suit with a group of ten young women. The second has five women, some seen in the other photograph, identified in handwriting on the back: Precious Foster, Cheek, Smith, Gertrude Dixon, and Sassner.</p>
