William Phillips reads Felix the Cat as his sister reads Leading Comics while sitting on their beds in their basement apartment in Bunker Hill. Their metal beds are well used and the walls are patched and doodled. Their family was relocated from their inadequate dwelling to the Pico Housing project. Photo dated: March 2, 1950.
