Source catalog description

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

An archival pigment print photograph of collaged images. At center, a black-and-white photograph of an older man surrounded by young children in the interior of a house has been torn along one edge and cut into the shape of a house. It is depicted at a slightly curved angle, set against a background black-and-white image of bare tree limbs, so that the house-shaped image appears to be resting in the branches. The print is mounted on black sintra pvc board with back frame and a label with the artist, title, date, medium, and dimensions.
