    Description

    This is a vintage 5 x 7 composite photo of an African American graduating class dated 1939.  Labeled "C.P.T.S. 1939".  Corner stamp for Mitchem Studio, Minden, LA.
    This appears to be an early photo in the movement of the Tuskegee Airmen program.  In 1939 a government grant established several CPT satellite schools for potential African American pilots, telegraphers, stenographers and code workers, etc.   I am not able to find any specific schools in Minden, LA but it is possible that the photo stamp is not from the same town where the actual photo was taken.  Photo was found with an group of Alabama related papers/documents from the time-era.
    Photo with loss in upper left corner as well as creases and small tear on bottom.  Displays well.  thanks for looking
