Abstract
UNIVERSITY, Miss. -- Karen Glynn wanted to know the story behind the photograph. Why was C. M. Allen, a white resident of Clarksdale, Miss., in an African-American juke joint that day in the 1930s, waving a $5 bill on the dance floor as couples moved all around him? The mystery image, captured more than 60 years ago by Farm Security Administration (FSA) photographer Marion Post Wolcott, is only one of the 1,230 pictures which the visual resources coordinator of The University of Mississippi's Southern Media Archive sought to understand in creating one of the most comprehensive cultural databases and curriculum resources ever assembled in the state
