American Easter Traditions: Easter Baskets--Vine Stree Orphanage (1930s)

Easter baskets orphanage
Figure 1.--Here we see the children at the Vine Street Orphanage in Chattanooga, Tennessee probably during the 1930s. The children all have their Easter baskets. I am guessing that they are about to have an Easter egg hunt. We know nothing about the orphanage at this time. Interestingly the children are all dressed quite differently.

Interestingly the children are all dressed quite differently. Orphanges like schools in Tennessee and other southern states were racially segregated.
