Henry Aaron, Charlie White, and Bill Bruton are Served Food by Lulu Mae Gibson
Description
A slide of a black-and-white photograph of Milwaukee Braves players Henry Aaron (left), Charlie White (center), and Bill Bruton (right) standing in a kitchen holding out plates to be served food by Lulu Mae Gibson. The men are visible from the knees up and are wearing dress clothes. They are looking down at the shorter Gibson with smiles. The three African-American players were not allowed to stay at the team hotel during Spring Training in Bradenton, Florida, so they stayed with Mrs. Gibson.
