About the Wall Street Boys Association
From the website of The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
“There were numerous organizations and associations formed by African Americans in Harlem. The purpose of many of these clubs was social; however, these organizations also served as networking and support systems for doctors, lawyers, actors, politicians and businessmen and women in the community. Often they would have group portraits taken with the club’s banner and insignia.
This photograph is of the Wall Street Boys Association. Research has not yet uncovered the purpose of this organization. However, the banner indicates some relationship to the financial industry.” (more…)
