Water from the village pump

Florida
Girls -- Florida

A black girl stands on a dirt road holding a bucket on her head. Wooden fences line the path on both sides with a building standing in the background surrounded by some trees. Caption reads: "A girl in a Negro settlement carrying home a pail of water home [sic!] from the spring. She has it on her head, yet walks right along without spilling a drop."

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
