Abstract:
This photo accompanied Part 7 (2 October 1946) of Gorman's report on Oklahoma state psychiatric hospitals. The caption on the back of the photograph reads: "A dreary dayroom scene in the State Hospital for the Negro Insane at Taft. Mentally ill children, mental defectives, epileptics, and seniles mix with one another in violation of all state and national psychiatric standards.". NOTE: The original photograph was retouched to obscure the faces of the people in the photograph.
