This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

A framed printed inspirational quote from Mae's Millinery Shop. The text on the print (a) reads [Is it consistent with honorable principles?]. The [I] is larger than the rest of the text and decorated with a red colored illumination. The reverse is blank. The frame (b) is dark wood with glass and a cardstock backing. A length of wire is attached to a metal loop on either short side of the frame so it can hang horizontally on the wall. Nails hold the glass and paper back in place.
