Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing cleanup following a racial riot at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Leavenworth, Kansas. A prisoner cleans water damage outside Wing 7 while armed guards stand nearby. According to the period caption, Black prisoners charged through the doorway to fight white prisoners in an adjoining wing, and the wing was flooded during the disturbance. Caption is printed directly on the photograph. Tape remains on the corners. AP stamp and period handwriting are present on the back. Came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
