Description
Negative shows a group of young women and a woman posing on a playground which maybe in at Alum Rock Park in San Jose, California. In the background are three young men who appear to be spinning on a merry go round. This is possibly a picture of members of the YWCA's Contenta Hora group. Contenta Hora was a YWCA club for Latinas.
By 1938, it sponsored seven clubs and a business league, with a total membership of 421. Latinas met, briefly, as Contenta Hora. From Fran Smith, "Breaking Ground:The Daring Women of the YWCA in the Santa Clara Valley, 1905-2005," (2005), p. 45.
