Ball field on S. Main Street in Farmville, Va., with Robert R. Moton High School, which was known as Mary E. Branch Elementary School #2 for African Americans in 1963, in the background. This is one of the two sites where the Richmond Volunteers to Prince Edward County conducted recreational and educational activities for school-less children and youth in 1961-1962.
