African-Americans being transported on a wagon.

Scope and Contents

A small group of people are held on the back of a mule drawn wagon, with their hands held up. An automobile is driving between the wagon and the photographer, two men in the car in civilian attire, one of whom has a rifle with a mounted bayonet. The building in the background is 202 S. Main, on the southwest corner of 2nd and Main. Based on the shadows of the building and the people, it is late morning.
