From a collection of photos, slides and negatives I purchased.
BIG WILLIE ROBINSON at a car show, don't know exactly where.
Possibly Detroit Autorama or Oakland Roadster Show. Photo taken about 1972 or '73.
As president of Brotherhood of Street Racers out of Los Angeles he was in demand all over the nation as an ambassador of drag racing and taking street racing to the drag strip.

My mother she is 10th from the left at 102nd. St. School in Watts, (L. A. Calif.) about late '42 or early '43 during a War Bond drive. She can't remember the details about the plane. They just dropped it off and the different classes took turns getting their pictures taken next to it. The school was renamed about 2000 to Florence Griffith Joyner.
