Description
Photograph of a large crowd of men watching a man break ground at a site, while a large machine and the Los Angeles Police Band appear in the background, [s.d.]. A man's face is a blur to the camera as he bends to break the ground beneath him with a shovel. A crowd surrounds him, including a band, with a drub bearing the words "Los Angeles Police Band" on it. In the background at right, a large piece of unidentified machinery stands, and an American flag can be vaguely discerned behind it.
