African Americans who came to work in the cotton industry in Arizona often found their talents working for them. In Dixie, they worked in the fields as slaves and received no wages at all, but in Arizona cotton seed pressers received more pay, according to a report by a former cottonseed presser, Mr. Foley Sr. of A. Mountain. During the turn of the century, one of the leisure time activities would be to picnic at San Xavier. Many church groups used to do this and sometimes groups passing through Tucson would book such a ride out to San Xavier. In this instance we have a Mr. Davis and his party on the way to San Xavier.
