An African American home demonstration agent is pictured demonstrating child care skills to African American girls in this back and white photograph from the 1930s. The demonstration took place in front of a clapboard building. The students are seated and standing by the entrance to the building. Their teacher stands on the steps above them. In front of the girls is a table with a doll bed on top of it. The home demonstration agent, with her back to the girls, holds a black baby doll in her hands. Another woman, helping her, stands on the other side of the table. Both women are wearing white dresses and caps that have the 4-H clover on the front of them. There are a few students seated and standing behind the table.
