Many thanks to our friends at the Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site for sharing this great artifact. This panoramic picture was taken at a banquet in honor of James Weldon Johnson, the renowned civil rights leader, staunch NAACP supporter, author, and writer of Lift Every Voice and Sing (the Negro National Anthem), 83 years ago yesterday (May 13, 1931) in the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York City. In addition to Maggie Lena Walker and others, our beloved Mary McLeod Bethune was in attendance as well. Can you spot her?
