A basketball game of an African American teenage boys' basketball team in white shorts and t-shirts with numbers on the front of the shirts playing an African American teenage boys' team in dark shorts with sleeveless t-shirts with number on the front of the shirts in the gymnasium of the Western Baptist Seminary, 2119 Tracy Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. They stand under and around the basket looking up as if waiting for a ball that has been shot to go through the basket. A line of players and African American men sit along the wall and below large windows with wire grate over them and a few with blinds partially pulled. The length of the boys shorts is high above the knees. Two teens wear knee pads. They wear Converse hi-top tennis shoes. A volleyball net is wound and stored in the back left corner.
No date; likely 1940s
