The African American "Miss Homecoming - Western Baptist Seminary" sits smiling on the back hood of a decorated convertible, two-door sedan and her African American entourage sit inside the car of the Western Baptist Seminary, 2119 Tracy Avenue in Kansas City, Missouri. The street is brick. There are two cars parked behind them facing the other way. An empty field with some stone building or wall ruins are behind the street. A printed sign attached to the passenger's door reads, "Miss HOMECOMING Western Baptist Seminary." There are twirled streamers attached to the grill and front fender and flowing all the way to the back of the car. There are two men with a woman in the middle in the front seat. There are two women in the back seat on either side of the queen.
No date; likely circa 1940s
