Description

Photograph of Florie Trice and Martha Greer Bentley during an event associated with the National Conclave of Grady Graduate Nurses, taken in 1965. The image shows Martha Greer Bentley standing and signing a document on a table while Florie Trice sits nearby observing the moment. A man stands behind the table, leaning forward to watch the signing. Floral arrangements and formal attire suggest the occasion was part of a ceremonial or organizational gathering.

The photograph documents the professional and social activities of African American nurses connected with the Grady Graduate Nurses organization. Professional nursing associations such as this played an important role in supporting Black medical professionals during the twentieth century, providing networks for professional advancement, leadership development, and community service during a period when opportunities in many medical institutions remained limited by racial discrimination.
