Photograph of Cabbage Patch Settlement House children and faculty in Washington D.C with Senator Morton, 1966

A photograph of children and faculty from the Louisville, Kentucky Cabbage Patch Settlement House outside of an unspecified government building in Washington D.C with Kentucky Senator Thruston Ballard Morton. Two copies of this picture are in file; one copy dates the photograph to the August of 1966 while the other copy dates the photograph to the September of the same year. Notes in the Cabbage Patch file indicate that the Cabbage Patch children took camping trips to Washington D.C on at least five occasions; senator Morton hosted the Cabbage Patch children twice. This is the second trip that was hosted by Morton, the first having taken place in 1962. Senator Morton is in the far right of the photograph. Also included in the photograph is Roosevelt Chin, a lifetime Cabbage Patch faculty member, who can be found in the top center of the photograph. Also included in the photograph is Joe Burks, a Cabbage Patch coach and organizer, who is visible in the far left of the photograph with glasses on.
