Children in front of the Birwood Wall, Detroit, 1941

Four children pose in front of the Birwood Wall in the present-day Eight Mile-Wyoming neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan in August 1941. The wall was constructed that year to facilitate racial segregation between two newly-built subdivisions. The geotag is approximate and is inferred from another photograph in this series.
