content: A black-and-white photograph of Stanford Parchment and Claudius Wellington. The two (2) men are standing in front of a railing in a train station. They are both wearing suits, ties, hats, and pin back buttons with illegible text. Parchment, shorter and on the left, is holding a suitcase. He is leaning forward slightly and looking up and to the side at Wellington. Wellington has one hand on Parchment’s shoulder. Wellington is wearing striped pants and looking down. On the back is a date stamp, several numerical inscriptions, and a newspaper clipping with a printed caption reading: [Stanford Parchment, four feet, eight inches tall, and Claudius Wellington, who towers to six feet, rest a minute in a Chicago railroad station before starting the last leg of their journey from Jamaica to Wisconsin. They’re among 200 Jamaicans imported for farm work near Racine and Beaver Dam, Wis., in truck gardens. – AP Wirephoto].
