Footage of a YMCA in Harlem, New York, during the 1940s. 

Shows the following activities at the Y: Black men play Monopoly; a muscular black man lifts free weights; a black man uses a vibrating, wobbling belt to lose fat around his waist; a black man gets a massage; a black man relaxes in an electric steam cabinet with his head on the outside, covered with towels; and black couples dance in formal wear on the Y's basketball court.
