NAACP members picketing outside a New York City location is the particular subject here, a form of protest the civil rights organization used widely to press for fair employment, housing and an end to segregation in the mid-twentieth century. Pickets like this one usually drew attention to a specific business, union or public agency that was accused of discrimination, and they relied on handmade signs and orderly lines of marchers to make a public case. Notice the signs and the crowd's composition, which can tell you a good deal about the demands of the moment. Because the record gives few specifics, the picture is best read as one example of the organization's street-level campaigns in the city.
