Description
Emmet Kelly, Jr. shaking hands with a young African American boy in a coat and hat. The boy is not at all thrilled and looks as if he might start to cry. Another African American boy behind them looks just as skeptical. Two African American women are seated along the wall and a partially seen white female nurse and other African American children are in the background. The visit was part of the hospital's "Clown Day".
