    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.
  • mainja said:
    Maybe it's two children and their mother? Just not clear why they'd say two children when there are clearly three people in the picture.
  • K.Renee' said:
    Why do they have to be called NEGRO children?

    - shortiekyre, I believe that the titles for these pictures are either the original documentation made by the photographer or the curators at the Library of Congress when cataloging these pictures.

    If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).

    wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!
  • aware health said:
    Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

    Simplicity pre-consumerism . . .

    Mulatto, which has its roots in the word 'mule'--the sterile offspring of a male ass and a mare--is a horrible word, that is associated to people of color. No one should allow themselves to be call a mulatto.
  • emmyr13 said:
    The title is from the original 1940's caption from the photographer. While 'Mulatto' is offensive to us, back then it was the everyday term for people of mixed race. Thank goodness we have progressed a little.
