Accompanying note: "Gadsden County's harvest of gold, shade tobacco, is being set as weather clears and sun shines warmly. Some 43 acres on the C.W. Harbin farm are getting the plants beneath the shade this week. Priming, harvesting leaves from the plants, is expected to start in seven weeks, and continue until late June."

Looking forward to more images of #africanamericans as Entrepreneurs, Professionals, etc.

That's a great picture! It could represent the toil of many hardworking Farmers anywhere in the World. Not knowing when and where the photo was taken I would generically tag it with: farmer farming toil planting sand work food and crop I think your Project is amazing. Good work.

Other Bain/LOC photos of Ivy Day (commencement day) at Barnard College, the sister college of Columbia University, June 7, 1911:

Thank you Wystan and artolog for your comments on the dates of these images, which encouraged us to look at them more closely. The above image and the two noted in Wystan's comment are from the same Barnard Ivy day celebration which took place in June 1911. Take a look at the ivy plant under the columns and the woman in the white headband on the left who appears in the back of the crowd in all three images. The above image appears to show the class of 1913 holding a banner, standing across from the graduating class of 1911, who are in caps and gowns.
