Title: Grave in a Segregated Cemetery
Description: A grave in a segregated cemetery photographed by a civil rights volunteer, who notes that these grounds are cared for "without the benefit of the town's funds" in contrast to the municipally-funded Caucasian cemetery.

"This Negro cemetery in McComb must be cared for by unpaid Negroes. Thus the Negroes of McComb experience discrimination from birth to death."
