content: A black and white photograph of three men playing football at Shaw University in Raleigh, North Carolina. All three players are facing the camera, standing behind one of the yard lines. The center player has both hands on the ground, in a four-point stance. He is flanked on both sides by players with their right hands on the ground in three-point stance positions. The two players on the right side of the photograph are wearing helmets with earflaps. All of the players are wearing dark shirts and light pants, and the two players on the left are wearing knee-length socks over the pants. The goal post is directly behind the players. There are spectators behind the goal posts in the background and white painted houses and a white, picket fence in the distant background. There are no inscriptions or marks, front or back. There is a scribble on the back in pencil.
