- Caption
- This profile of Evelyn Stokes highlights her style and age. Stokes wears wire-rimmed glasses, large earrings, a collared shirt, and a small dark hat with a ribbon attached. Her hair is tied in a loose bun at the nape of her neck. These details suggest a certain formality, while Stokes’s slightly parted lips hint at a smile.
- Though little is known about Stokes’s life or impact on the Anacostia Community, in 1977, the Anacostia Neighborhood Museum Board of Directors voted to posthumously include Stokes’ portrait in “Phil Ratner’s Washington,” an exhibition honoring current and former Anacostia residents who contributed to the civic life of the community.
