An official programmme for a football game between Attucks High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma at Skelly Stadium in Tulsa. The program is printed in black ink on a single sheet of orange paper, folded to make four pages. The front of the program reads [Official Program / Attucks High School / Indianapolis / versus / Booker T Washington / High School / Tulsa / Skelly Stadium / Saturday December 1st, 1934]. The back of the program has a black-and-white printed picture of Sammye Hall. Below the picture is two lines of text that reads “Sammye Hall a senior, who has inspired the all vic-tortious Booker T. Eleven as “Hornets” Queen for 1934.” The world of sport, like so many other areas of life, was segregated along racial lines during this period of US history.
