Description

Photograph of children in Arab costume learning a unit about Arab culture at the 99th Street School, [s.d.]. Ten boys and girls can be seen seated in a semi-circle on the ground at center. They all wear native Arab dress, including robes, headdresses, and scarves across their faces. Five student-drawn pieces of artwork can be seen hanging on the wall above the children. Most of the drawings include camels and palm trees, while a professional painting can be seen hung above the students' work. The teacher is visible seated at a piano at left. The tops of the heads of two children appear to be in the extreme foreground. Photoprint reads: "The songs, dances and folklore of many other countries are taught Los Angeles children in a dramatic and interesting manner as evidenced by the scene above [refering to image] in the Ninety Ninth Street school".
