Documents include photographs of artwork by Charles H. Alston, featuring titles such as Dog Trot Cabin , Alabama Landscape, Coal miner, Cotton Pickers, and Tobacco Farm boy.

A second clipping, from the newspaper PM, is titled A Negro Artist Covers the Harlem Horse Show and provides biographical details, stating that Alstons aim is to put the American Negro people on canvas as they are and notes that he has been working on a Rosenwald Fellowship for the last two years.
