Children Serenade President and Mrs. Harding

In this black and white photograph, Washington school children serenade President Warren G. Harding and First Lady Florence Kling Harding. The serenade was a feature of the Music Week program, which was to have been held at the Lincoln Memorial but was transferred to the East Room of the White House because of rain. This photograph is from the Herbert E. French Collection, of the National Photo Company at the Library of Congress, which captured life in Washington, D.C., from the Wilson to the Hoover administrations.
