Carrie Buck's wedding photograph, still image with audio by Paul Lombardo
Carrie Buck sent this photo, taken on her wedding day in 1933, to Dr. Bell, still at the colony. She remained married to Mr. Eagle, shown here in the wedding picture, for 25 years. Though it was claimed that she was unstable, morally uninhibited, and feebleminded, this first marriage lasted a quarter of a century until the death of her spouse.
