Fair useFair use of copyrighted material in the context of Shirley Ardell Mason//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shirley_Ardell_Mason.jpgtrue
Fair use rationale - I was able to find no free equivalent, it is of very small size and low resolution, no new version can be created as the subject is dead, it will only be used on one page (Shirley Ardell Mason), it has been published before off-wikipedia, it is encyclopedic (depicting the subject of a page), it significantly increases the reader's understanding of the page by providing a depiction of the subject, and attribution to the source is given above.

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the imageor the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.
Please remember that the non-free content criteriarequire that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
