[Photograph of Carhartt of Texas Employees]

Photograph of a group of people arranged in seven rows, some crouching on the wood floor, some sitting, and some standing, with a sign that says "Carhartt of Texas."

The group is in a high-ceiling factory warehouse room, with visible hanging pipes, light fixtures, and wires, as well as a sewing machine table (on the bottom right of the photo). There is a rectangular hole cut out of the middle of the group, where someone's face might have been, and on the back, is the address of one of the employees, Thelma Christian.
