Two police officers, James L. Hall (1930-2003) on left, and Leroy Washington (1927-2015), standing in dirt field. Trees and partial fence line seen in the background. Published in the Stuart News (6 Dec 1956) with the caption: "Negro officers of past 5 months. These husky Negro patrolmen joined the City of Stuart force last July 7 and reports on their work indicate they have been a worthwhile novel addition for patrolling the city's Negro sector."
