West Indian Day Parade in Harlem, New York

A car with a giant photo of President Harry S. Truman and unofficial Mayor of Harlem, Sherman Hibbitt drives down a street in Harlem, New York for the West Indian Day Parade. The car is driven by Frederick S. Weaver, the Director of Public Relations for the Community of Harlem. On the side of the car is a sign that says "A Vote for Truman is a Vote for Civil Rights." Hibbitt and Truman had met at the White House a few weeks before the parade, when the mounted photo was taken.
