This image was originally part of a California State Library photographic history project documenting the daily lives and historical, political, and cultural contributions of California's diverse communities. On June 12, 1999, Long Beach residents donated to the Long Beach Public Library 398 family and personal photographs as part of this ongoing statewide project. Pictured here is seven-year-old Angelica Meza who fell off a skateboard and broke her arm. She was taken to Long Beach pediatrician Nord Nation, M.D., and the arm was set in a hot pink cast. In this image, she models her pink cast as she sits next to a vaccum cleaner wearing a colorful cartoon tee shirt. She looks up beyond the photograph's edge. Later, when Angelica broke her other arm, she chose a lime green cast. DATE NOTES: Noted on image back. ORIG. IMAGE: 6" x 8" color glossy print. NEGATIVE: No. KEYWORDS: Products, equipment, household, fashion.
