This photo documents a Black photographer as well as an African American social club. It was almost certainly taken in Shreveport, Louisiana based who the photographer was. The photo was taken by Oneal Scott who had worked as a printer in the local Dickeson Photography Studio. He ultimately opened Scott's Studio in 1925 and it operated at 1439 Hotchkiss St. Scott made portraits until his death in 1942.

The picture depicts “The Twelve Carnations Annual Dinner” and shows a well dressed group of young men and women. Unfortunately, we were not able to find anything out about this club.
