Either a real name or a description like “the dwarf from Las Meninas” is acceptable. In one photo, this person is shown in profile sitting with three small children on the left side of the frame while the right side shows their adopted daughter in a mirror looking at a framed photo of this person’s parents. The most famous image of this person was deliberately taken in an office belonging to a woman with a desk job that this person was passed over for. This person and their children and grandchildren appeared in a 60-photo series created by a photographer who later documented (*) Jim Crow Alabama in the Life series The Restraints: Open and Hidden. In a 1942 photograph, this person wears a polka-dotted dress and round glasses while holding a broom and mop in front of an American flag. For 10 points, name this government worker who appears in a Gordon Parks photograph titled for a Grant Wood painting. ■END■
