Tappan Library groundbreaking ceremony

Library trustees, the library director and local political dignitaries stand at attention while a speech is being read during the groundbreaking ceremony for the Tappan Library. A black man in a suit jacket and tie standing in the center of the group is holding a ceremonial golden shovel. Next to his is a tall white man who is reading from papers in his hands. The group is standing at the edge of a parking lot with a pedestrian bridge in the background. There is a young child clutching onto a woman in the center of the picture.
