A Black-and-Tan Dive in Africa

A Beer Dive with a Black and White Woman

The image is of a beer dive catering to black and white male and female patrons. A black man and white woman are seated in the dive. The woman is staring downward and the man has a dazed look while sitting on a beer keg. Their clothing is dirty and in disrepair and the room has peeling wallpaper. This type of beer dive resembled those in Maggie’s neighborhood.
