There is only one photo on this page that is labeled. I am not positive, but I think the handsome looking gentleman in the suit is Shelton Bishop, Jr.
Apparently this photo was taken while she was a junior at Barnard College. Elizabeth was a graduate of Barnard College and received her M.D. from the College of Physicians & Surgeons, Columbia University, in 1949. Elizabeth passed away last year in February. There was an article about her death in Harlem World Magazine.
It took me a while to find an actual obituary for her, I guess because she used different names. I also found notes of condolences. I now know that she has descendants so hopefully I will be able to make contact.

I was also able to find some magazine articles about Dr. Elizabeth Bishop Davis reporting on her success as well as her marriage.
There are also a couple of articles about her in the Columbia University Journal. Once you are there just run a search using the term "Trussell".
I had the privilege of knowing Dr. Davis Trussell in her later years and she was as full of passion and professional care and spiritual generosity as in her earlier years. She supported me and my late partner, Sen. Chuck Allen, III in our quest for a same sex blessing at historic St. Philip's. As the daughter and grand daughter of the late Shelton and Hale Bishop it was amazing that this woman in her 80's stood up for a black gay couple she barely knew. She supported me when my partner was diagnosed with cancer, she supported me professionally as I worked for the Weston United organization where she was a board member and she supported me when my late partner and myself sought to adopt two boys. She used her influence as a noted psychiatrist to get care for the older boy who was suffering from major depression. I cherish the dishes she bought for Chuck and myself for our same sex blessing ceremony at her families church of St. Philips where I continue to be a member.
