Photograph of children's art class at the Detroit Institute of Arts. Narrative by Junebug Clark: I might be in this photo. I spent many hours and days in classes and wandering the DIA. I sat for hours studying the Dutch Master paintings there trying to figure out the different light sources the painters used to light their subjects and where they came from and how they hid those lights so they were not in the painting. I still do. Photo by Bernice Clark. Signed by: Bernice Clark Clark PhotoFile: 7069-0020-4

Narrative by Junebug Clark: Water Delivery to Florida Hurricane Disaster Victims (Re-creation) Highland Park, Michigan Photo: Joe Clark HBSS 1955 This photo is significant because in the early 50s milk was only being distributed in glass bottles. Pure-Pak was manufacturing “New" paper carton containers, but people were reluctant to buy milk in anything but a glass bottle. There are a series of photos in the Clark Family Photography Collection used in ads to promote the benefits of the paper carton over the glass bottle, but nothing really changed the people's opinion until… …a hurricane hit Florida and Excello, the parent company of Pure-Pak, sent truck loads of emergency drinking water in Pure-Pak paper cartons and people finally got it. Why send glass bottles to an area …
