Mourners pray at a temporary altar at the Olvera Street memorial service for Harry Carr, Los Angeles, 1936

Description:
Mourners pray at a temporary altar at the Olvera Street memorial service for Los Angeles Times columnist Harry Carr. The altar contains a small statue of the Virgin Mary and a Crucifix. Six women and one man kneel and five men stand in prayer, holding lit candles. A painted brick wall has more lit candles on its ledge and the lower portion of an image of the Virgin Mary is also visible. A table with a checked table cloth on the right suggests that the location might be a restaurant (perhaps Casa La Golondrina at 17 Olvera St., owned by Consuela De Bonzo, a Mexican community leader who spoke at the service).
