Freda Mendez-Smith swears in the new office holders

Description

Freda Mendez-Smith, a Mexican American woman, stands behind a lectern in front of a stage in possibly a school gymnasium and turns to the left to swear in the eight Mexican American women to their positions within the MANA de Kansas City organization. The woman on the left side of the photograph in the teal and black herringbone jacket is Sally Ramos. The eight women all have their right hand raised. Dawn Williams is third from the left (wearing a dark dress with a square white collar). Barbara Muro is fifth from the left (wearing red). And Bea Marie Mejia is seventh from the left (wearing a pink jacket).
No date; likely 1980s
