A group photograph of African-American and Caucasian women look down at their work while quilting in a room together as part of the African American Women's Missionary Union's annual workday of the Western Baptist Seminary, 2119 Tracy Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. The white women sit to the left and the African American women sit to the right with a stack of quilts in the center of the room. Most women sit on ladder back chairs. The four windows to the left are floor to ceiling. There is a man's portrait above the door at the back. There is a dark shiny curtain hanging across the back wall. The ceiling is pressed tin.
No date; likely 1940s
