This photograph of women curtseying comes from the scrapbook of Althea “Bee” Moore, who was an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa (then known as the State University of Iowa) from 1924 to 1928. The scrapbook’s collection of photographs, clippings, invitations and concert programs reflect Moore’s active social life and wide acquaintance among the African American community of Iowa in the 1920s.
