Coloured labourer partially disabled (photo)

Item

Description
Typed on back of photo: "A Coloured labourer was partially disabled at his work. The firm employing him allowed him £100 in compensation for his injury and entrusted the amount to Mr. Mason to use for the man as he saw fit. He brought a plot of land on the Flats and on it had a small house, consisting of three rooms and a kitchen, built to serve the family as a home such as they would never otherwise had, and it was their own."
