Black History: Kerrville Parade
I admit my collection of Kerrville photographs is weak in several areas, but the largest area is this: it lacks images of minority families. This image, from a group of photos Jon and Sandy Wolfmueller let me scan, is of a parade. The girls are beautifully dressed, and the truck is very well decorated. I have no idea what parade is pictured, but I really like this photo. If anyone can help identify the girls, or the parade, I'd really appreciate it.

I love the attention to the hubcaps
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about the parade, but one clue may be the object that is being held by the young lady who is standing in the middle.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought it was a music stand, but obviously it was not a stand.
Then, I thought that she might be holding a trident, but the two outside tines are bent outward, so it is doubtful that it was a trident.
What was it that she held?
Just a side issue, I noticed in the view between the floats that a garden was growing in the yard.
Many people grew gardens in the early 1900's. And of course there were "Victory Gardens" that were grown during WWII.
I sometimes wonder if more people should grow gardens. Would it help cut everyone's food bills?
Ok, I'm through rambling. Apparently I cannot solve the parade question.
