• [Dinner at the Myers home in Levittown]
  This item is a black and white glossy photograph of William and Daisy Myers having dinner in their Levittown home. The couple are dressed in casual attire as William sits at the table while Daisy pours him coffee. When Levittown was first created the housing agreements included racist policies barring people of color from living in the community. The Myers became the first Black family to move into the 15,000 home all-White Levittown community in Bristol Township. They moved out of the integrated housing community of Bloomsdale to 43 Deepgreen Lane in Levittown, PA in August 1957.
