    Description
    This is a folded brochure which was directed "To the Public" as "The Colored Soldier's Appeal" to "help the suffering of our race." The front includes an image of a Black woman and three Black children. This is the same image used on a postcard. In this brochure the individuals pictured are identified as: "Violet, An Orphan Freak Born without Hands; Mrs. H. L. Walker, Pres. of Lexington's Old Folks Home and Orphanage; Virginia, Cannot Walk; Annie, Cannot Talk." The inside pages of the brochure include an Orphans' Plea and a Plan for the Building.
