1931 Incredible photograph with racial overtones and showing a Russian wrestler named Sandor Szabo as he learns the art of eating watermelon from a small black child. A really crazy image put into todays context, this is a piece of American history that is being offered here fresh out of a newspaper archive. The photo has a chip off the bottom border but otherwise it looks pretty nice.
