This flyer advertises the 1925 Union picnic. For many years the First Baptist Church and Embry African Methodist Episcopal Church sponsored a joint annual Sunday School picnic. It was held at Suburban Gardens in the Deanwood neighborhood of the District of Columbia. Unlike others, the seven-acre amusement park welcomed African-American visitors to enjoy the roller coaster, Ferris wheel, swimming pools, and picnic grounds. Suburban Gardens opened in 1921 and was in operation until 1940.

George Elliott Randall was six months old in 1954, when this photograph was taken. “What a time we had getting him ready for this picture,” his mother remembered. “His sister Janet walked him up and down the street and fed him plenty of Sugar Babies.” This photograph of young Randall was taken by Verdell Nesbitt, Lakeland’s own photographer.
