193114390Minden LA 1931. Very Good. Minden LA: 1931. Original black and white photograph 15.5x25.5cm. depicting the girls' basketball team alongside their coach Mr. Russ each player identified in ink manuscript along bottom of image. Photograph slightly curled with very small flaw at bottom of image else Very Good overall. Misidentifying manuscript label mounted to verso identifying the team in "Shreveport LA / Circa 1947 / Washington ".<br /> <br /> The label is a red herring misdating and misplacing the photograph sixteen years late and thirty miles west. The center player holds a basketball dated '31 nineteen years before Booker T. Washington High School was founded. The school almost certainly is Webster High School in Minden Louisiana thirty miles east. The building in the background and the women's slightly mismatching uniforms conform to those depicted in W.L.G. Abney's 1950s booklet "The History of Webster High School." Indeed the simple whitewashed wooden structure sitting on a brick pile foundation appears to be either the back of the dormitory or the newly-completed library the ground still unpaved dirt. <br /> <br /> The story of the founding of Webster High School less than ten years earlier in 1922 displays the dedication and financial burden of a Black community in the heart of the Jim Crow South. According to Abney's history a Colored Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community first set out to find a suitable site for a new school settling on a piece of land "owned and occupied as a home by one of Minden's colored citizens Mr. Henry Harris who was perfectly happy there and had no desire to sell." Abney glosses over the displacement of Harris but the site was secured and approved by the White Parish board "with the understanding that the colored people themselves would have to make substantial financial contribution if they were to secure this site because no money had been budgeted for the cause at that time." Indeed by 1931 the list of state-sponsored schools in Louisiana for White and Black students was sixty-eight to four. Webster was not one of those four schools. <br /> <br /> As Abney's history delineates however the money was raised by the community through the leadership and outreach of the Colored Board of Trustees and by 1931 a library had been erected and numerous sports teams active. The date is also significant as it coincides with the founding of two of the first all-Black all-women's professional basketball clubs the Philadelphia Tribune Girls and the Chicago Romas. Perhaps these pioneering teams inspired the formation of Webster High School's girls' basketball team. In any case the members listed are as follows: Coach Mr. Russ Tena Lowery Hazel Garrett Willie Stewart B. Green M. Ford Bran Watson M. Gafford E. McCorey Ella B. Gafford Lorscie Henry and Louella Ruffin. unknown

189013401890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 12 1/2 x 9 inches 318 x 230 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. <br /> <br /> The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown
