Description
Mr. and Mrs. Morris Foxman and their two children, Allan and Loretta, are shown entering their new home in the Ramona Gardens housing project. The Foxman's were the first family to move in where 609 other will live. They carried over the threshold salt, sugar and bread--the salt to season, the sugar to sweeten and bread as the staff of life--an ancient family ceremony in a new home. Photo dated January 2, 1941.
