Taken by renowned photographer Gordon Parks, it depicts an air raid wardens meeting in zone nine of the Southwest area in Washington, D. C. , 1942. The image showcases Mr. Frederick Douglas, chairman of the wardens, alongside Mrs. Hunton, secretary. In this powerful snapshot, we witness a group of dedicated African American men and women fulfilling their patriotic duty to protect their country on the home front.
