Summary

[edit]
Description
English: McDonogh Day in New Orleans, Louisiana 1930s. "Students honor John McDonogh, a benefactor of the New Orleans public schools."

Notes: Scene in park (Lafayette Square) of white school children holding flowers while two white women watch.
In New Orleans "McDonogh Day" was long marked on 7 May by public school children being brought to Lafayette Square to present flowers at the monument to John McDonogh who left his fortune to fund schools. During the era of racial segregation, students of color would stand to one side and wait for all the white students to finish their ceremonies before their own could commence.
