Written on recto: "HARTSFIELD ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT: When Atlanta's new airport opens in September 1980 (one mile or 1.6 kilometers from the present site) it will be the largest passenger terminal complex in the world. Its twin terminal buildings, International Terminal and four 26-gate concourses initially can handle more than 55 million people per year, and 109 widebodied aircraft simultaneously.

The Morehouse College campus, 1938. John Wesley Dobbs attended but did not graduate from Atlanta Baptist College, now known as Morehouse College, due to family responsibilities. According to his grandson in a speech delivered at Spelman College, Dobbs did not graduate "so he could always claim that he made it without having to graduate from college and that he was a self-made man."
