Several children draw on construction paper with crayons. Several others cut paper with scissors. An African American nurse sits at the head of the table. Hospital beds stand behind them against the walls.The hospital, segregated until the 1960s, was often referred to as "the Gradies" because of its separate facilities for black patients and white patients.
