Several large cages full of chickens are the center of attention in this black and white photograph from the 1950s. Four African American 4-H club members are standing behind the cages as they listen to someone up at the podium in front of them. A loud speaker can be seen in the right side of the picture. Behind the students stands a group of adults watching the sale of the chickens. Two school buses and a van can be seen in the background.
