General Note
This image is actually from 1913, from a film called "Birth of a Race" (released in 1919), which was filmed in and around Tampa. Funded in large part by Booker T. Washington and his Tuskegee Instittute. One of the earliest African American-made films, it was directed by Washington's personal secretary, John Noble, and produced by Emmett Scott. Its title, added probably after 1915, was a reference (and rebuttal) of D.w. Griffith's controversal "Birth of a Nation."
