Negro drinking at "Colored" water cooler in streetcar terminal, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by Russell Lee

'A person of color drinking at "Colored" water cooler in streetcar terminal, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma' - 35mm nitrate negative of a photo by Russell Lee, depicting the seperate but equal era. Title kept original; obviously language has moved on. Note that, while there is a theoretically higher-resolution source,:File:"Colored" drinking fountain from mid-20th century with african-american drinking.jpg, that has some severe damage, like the blur on the left side (below the hand on the sign).
