Willie Mays Addressing Students from the Podium at Frederic Burk School, February 1, 1967 (Updated two months ago)

You can view this bundle in the SFSU Over the Years collection area.

Willie Mays leans forward over a wooden podium, speaking into a standing microphone as a large group of children sit cross-legged on the gymnasium floor in front of him. Teachers and school staff line the back wall beneath tall windows, while bright light from the left side of the room illuminates the assembly during his visit to Frederic Burk School.
