Children Playing, 1920s


African-American children playing. A gravity racer or soapbox is a motor-less vehicle which is raced on a downhill road either against the clock or against another competitor. Although most are built for the purpose of recreation, some gravity racing teams take the sport more seriously and compete to win. Photographed by Harris & Ewing, circa 1915-23.
