Observers Gather Around an African American Man Teeing... — Clip Details

Vintage 1961 home movie footage from Ridgefield, New Jersey, captures an African American man preparing to tee off during a sunny day of golf. Observers gather around the green, watching intently as he takes his swing with a driver.
